“May we become one body, one spirit in Christ” 

(The Third Eucharistic Prayer) 

First of all, thank you from all of my heart! And I ask for your blessing for me. 

I am very happy to be able to communicate with each of you through this letter.

As Pope Francis did in his first greeting from the balcony of St. Peter`s on the night of his election, 13 March 2013, I also ask each of you for your prayer for me and for my part I send you my blessing.  From today on let us not stop praying for each other.
