LETTER
FROM THE POPE TO CARDINAL BERTONE
Vatican
City, 4 July 2012 (VIS) - Given below is the text of a letter written
by the Holy Father to Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone,
and dated 2 July.
"On
the eve of my departure to spend the summer months at Castelgandolfo,
I wish to express my profound appreciation for your discreet presence
and wise counsel, which I have found particularly helpful over recent
months.
"Having
noted with sorrow the unjust criticisms that have been directed
against your person, I wish to reiterate the expression of my
personal confidence, which I already declared to you in a letter on
15 January 2010, the contents of which remain unchanged as far as I
am concerned.
"In
entrusting your ministry to the maternal intercession of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, Help of Christians, and to that of the Holy Apostles
Peter and Paul, it is my pleasure to send you a fraternal greeting,
accompanied by an apostolic blessing as a sign of all desired
goodness".
