Mattarella to the Pope: twelve years of dedication not only to the Church, but to all humanity
The President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, expressed, in a message addressed to Pope Francis on the occasion of the twelfth anniversary of the beginning of his pontificate, the gratitude of the Italian people, the “affectionate” closeness and best wishes for a “prompt recovery".
Mattarella assured his gratitude for the twelve years in which Pope Francis has offered the most authentic testimony of evangelical values, with constant service not only to the Catholic Church, but to all of humanity.
“The encyclical letter Dilexit nos offers a shining example of this inspiration, with the invitation to every woman and every man of good will to cross the boundaries of personal gain and to recognize themselves linked to others by that bond of human brotherhood which is independent of considerations of geographical proximity or cultural affinity”, we read in the message from the President of the Republic.
