King Mihai's figure endures as an example of devotion and sacrifice on dignified Romania's altar which he served to the very end, Cardinal Lucian stated in his condolences message sent on Tuesday to Crown Princess Margareta, in the name of the Romanian Church united with Rome, Greek-Catholic and in his own personal name.
In his name and of the Greek-Catholic Church, Cardinal Lucian expressed his sincere condolences "upon this sad occasion" to Her Royal Highness Margareta.
"May God Almighty rest him in peace and set him with all the Romanian kin heroes, into the joy of His eternal dwellings," Cardinal Lucian further said.
Upon the orders of Cardinal Lucian, in all the churches of Alba-Iulia and Fagaras Archdiocese, mourning bells for King Mihai's soul repose will be rung starting with Wednesday and to the day of the funeral, at 12:00 hrs.
