Vatican City, October 16, 2019
Esteemed friends in the Lord:
On the occasion of the Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazonian Region, and on behalf of the members of the Christian Life Community, you kindly summited a thoughtful letter to the Holy Father, in which you share with him some remarks for consideration.
His Holiness Francis, thanking you for this gesture of trust, encourages you to continue conveying the hope and joy of the Gospel to all those around you. In addition, he begs you to pray for him and the fruits of his service to the Holy People of God. At the same time, invoking the maternal protection of our Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, he wholeheartedly imparts onto you an invoked Apostolic Blessing, which he is pleased to extend to your families and loved ones.
I avail myself of this opportunity to express to you the testimony of my highest consideration and esteem in Christ.
Edgar Peña Substitute
