Rocca di Papa, 8th June 2023

Your Holiness, dear Pope Francis,

We anxiously followed the news of the surgery you underwent yesterday and are delighted with the recent comforting reports about your health. United with the whole Church, we accompany you with the prayers and spiritual offerings of the Movement’s communities around the world. We assure you that we will continue to support you, asking the Father for your full recovery, so that you may continue your invaluable ministry.

I send you my most affectionate greetings and those of the Focolare Movement!

Your daughter in Christ,
