Pope and Patriarch Theodore II of Alexandria and All Africa expressed in his letter the sincere condolences of the Patriarchate of Alexandria, over the passing away of the Blessed Patriarch Irinej of Serbia.
“Your Eminence,
Metropolitan of Dabar-Bosnia
Hrizostom
Vicar of the Serbian Patriarchate
In Belgrade
Deeply moved and with great sadness we have been informed about the passing away of the beloved Blessed Patriarch Irenej, so we hasten to join our prayers and supplications with you and the pious flock of the Serbian Patriarchate for the repose of His soul.
Patriarch Irinej was a great spiritual figure and a remarkable charismatic ecclesiastical leader.
He left a memory of a brilliant ecclesiastical man and Patriarch. May the God of love classify him among the Saints.
We wish that the sister Church of Serbia will choose a worthy successor.
Your dear brother in Christ
† THEODORE II
Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa”
