Dear Father, I know that your ninetieth birthday is being celebrated this year. I hope this is a good time to pay homage to your noble church service and wish my prayers for many years to come.
In the face of ambiguity in the ritual, you lived and stood by your side. Your faithfulness to the oriental worship was cherished. Despite opposition, you remained firm in your convictions because of your love for the truth.
He was twice elected president of the CBCI, recognizing that his father has mature views and convictions. I’m not sure if we can see this. In any case, spiritual intimacy and love between us have repeated once again. My sincere tribute to your achievements and sufferings.
I wish my brotherhood and good wishes in the name of God.
Signature
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
