Your Holiness:Your Birthday is a time of immense joy not only for the Christian world but for the entire aspiring humanity. In the outer world you are our highest inspiration and supreme hope. In the inner world you are the divinely chosen representative of our Absolute Supreme to guide us along His Eternity’s Path.
Your heart of compassion I soulfully adore. Your life of dedication I deeply revere. To you, Holy Father, I bow and bow.
