His witness of faith, his dedication to the weakest, his incessant appeal for mercy and peace have deeply marked our times and will continue to illuminate the path of the Church.
“The Order of Malta has always received the support and closeness of the Holy Father in its service to the sick and the most vulnerable. It is our duty, today more than ever, to give thanks for His Pontificate and to pray that the Lord will grant Him the reward promised to faithful servants. I ask you to intensify our mission of charity in the service of our Lords, the Poor and the Sick, as a concrete sign of our fidelity to the teachings that Pope Francis has imparted and left in our care.”
