До Местобљустителот на Романската Православна Црква (30.07.2007)
Macedonian Orthodox Church is very saddened by the news that the archierarch of the sisterly Romanian Church has passed away, because our Church and our Macedonian people have historically friendly and respectful ties with Your Church. The Patriarch Teoctist of blessed memory, by God's mercy, has been the Head during an extraordinary period in the history, full of temptations, but he was an archpastor who "learned to count the days and acquire a wise heart" (Psalms 89,14), filled with goodness and love. Such God-loving persons are always prepared to tell and to witness that "whether we live or die, we are the Lord's" (Romans 14,8). We pray for the all-merciful Lord to place his soul among the righteous! May God forgive His soul and His remembrance be eternal!
Archbishop of Ohrid and Macedonia Head of the Holy Archbishop’s Synod of the Macedonian Orthodox Church
Catre Inloctiitorul Biserici Ortodocse Romane
Biserica Ortotocsa Macedoneana cu mare tristece a primit vestea despre adormirea Primului Ierarh al Surori Bisericii Romane,catre care, ca popor macedonean si ca biserica macedoneana, traditional avem respect si prietenie.
Prea Fericitul Patriarh Teoctist, cu voia lui Dumnezeu, a fost conducator in vremuri istorice si pline de ispite dar a fost conducator care” a invatat sa numere zilele si sa dobandeasca inima inteleapta“ (Psalm 89, 14) plina de bunatate si de dragoste.
Acesti oameni iubitori de Dumnezeu sant intodeauna pregatiti sa marturiseasca ca “si daca traim,si daca murim santem ai lui Dumnezeu”(Rim .14,8).
Ne rugam catre milostivul Dumnezeu sa aseze sufletul lui intre sufletele celor dreptcredinciosi!Dumnezeu sa-l ierte si sa-i fie vesnica pomenirea.
