Your Holiness:In the last few years on three occasions you have compassionately blessed me with your Holy Presence, and each time I have been profoundly moved far, far beyond my ability to express. I cannot begin to say how much your loving and encouraging words have meant to me, and how deeply your inner Presence has touched me.
Inwardly and outwardly what you are doing for mankind is absolutely unparalleled. In our era, you are Divinity’s supreme instrument and humanity’s supreme hope. God-lovers throughout the world, Christian and non-Christian alike, draw the utmost inspiration from all that you are and all that you do.
