To His Beatitude John X Patriarch of Antioch and All the East Damascus
Your
Beatitude, Our dear brother and fellow servant in the Lord, We have
received the sad news about the devastating explosion that took lives of
many innocent people in Beirut, which We have recently visited,
lovingly hosted by Your Beatitude and welcomed by many wonderful and
cordial people. This horrible tragedy induced great sadness and pain in
the heart of the Serbian people.
On behalf of the Serbian Orthodox
Church and on my personal behalf, please receive along with the
families of the afflicted ones and the entire fraternal population of
Beirut the expressions of our prayerful condolences.
We pray to
our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the wounds of the injured, repose the
souls of the dead, give comfort to the ones who stayed without their
closest ones, and fortify and invigorate the spirit and health of all
the ones who survived this tragedy.
In addition, Your
Beatitude, please convey the expressions of Our condolences and
solidarity to the state authorities of our friendly country of Lebanon.
With love in Christ the Lord,
Serbain Patriarch Irinej
