The spiritual leader of the Sebian Orthodox people, Pavle (Serbian Cyrillic: Павле, English: Paul; 11 September 1914- 15 November 2009) was the 44th Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church from 1990 to his death. His full title was His Holiness the Archbishop of Peć, Metropolitan of Belgrade and Karlovci, and Serbian Patriarch Pavle. Because of poor health, he spent his last years in the Military Academy in Belgrade. His life thus encompassed the ending of the First World War, the disappearance of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires, the establishment of a new Yugoslav state, the Second World War, and the end of the Cold War, and the breakup of Yugoslavia …

It is not easy to teach the Gospel. One of the few among our contemporaries who completely succeeded at overcoming those obstacles is His Holiness Serbian Patriarch Paul (+2009). We are happy for the opportunity that enabled us to have published some of Patriarch Pavle's sermons over an extended period of time first in Kosovo and Metohija (1983-1990), and later in Belgrade.
These sermons are dedicated equally to the faithful and to the unfaithful, to Serbs and non-Serbs During the most recent war Patriarch Paul did not forget even the enemies of Serbian people but was worried about their salvation; he prayed to the Lord to show them the way of truth, justice and peace. His role and voice are truly universal. The entire material is arranged chronologically; each sermon being dated and designated by the place and the occasion for it.
