After the memorialization, the Bishop of Mohacha said in his address: 'We believe that the Lord conquered death by His Resurrection and that this is the pledge of both our resurrection and our eternal life. Our temporal farewell is only a temporary farewell, for we know that we will see our neighbors again when Christ comes again in glory. This is our comfort and our hope. May the Lord, through the prayers of all the saints, grant peace to the soul of our newly departed servant of God, Xenia, and comfort to her familyˮ.
The act of washing the body of the newly-departed servant of God Ksenija was performed in the Church of the Ascension by His Holiness Patriarch of Serbia, Msgr. Porfiry. His Holiness the Patriarch was served by His Grace Metropolitans Irinej of Bačka, Ioan of Sumadije and Arsenije of Niš; His Grace Bishops Isikhije of Valjevo, Iustin of Western Europe, Stefan of Rimesia, Damaskin of Mohać, Peter of Toplice and Nikon of Jenopolis, as well as the clergy of several dioceses, and the clergy of several dioceses Serbian Orthodox Church.
After the reading of the Gospel passage, His Holiness Patriarch Porphyrios of Serbia delivered a sermon over the Oder of the newly deceased servant of God Ksenija and, among other things, emphasized: "although we know that there is an end to our life on earth, at the same time we in no way agree with this end, although often we live as if this end will not happen. Death as a biological reality is not something we have a dilemma about. Anyone who comes into the world will die. Death is not natural and does not belong to our nature that came from the hands of God, and the purpose of our existence is not to turn our being into utter nothingness. We know that we were created for life, and not for any life but eternal life, fullness of life, the Kingdom of God, and we know that we cannot attain it alone. We know that the Lord Christ has already done it for us, and it is in our hand to choose our freedom for him, viz. to choose his kingdom, and to do everything not to hinder him from giving us that kingdom of his and bringing us into it. Thus there is no death as a complete transformation into nothingness. This is why, brothers and sisters, as we pray today for the repose of the soul of God's handmaid Xenia and have hope in Christ and faith, we have no dilemma that Xenia is today in the Kingdom of comfort, hope, faith and loveˮ.
