Sao Paulo, Brazil, Jun 10, 2008 / 11:23 am
In a message to the Archbishop of Sao Paulo, Cardinal Odilo Scherer, Pope Benedict XVI encouraged Brazilians to continue proclaiming the word of God “with evangelical faith and charity.”
Pope Benedict sent his message to the Brazilians to mark the 100th anniversary of the archdiocese. On this great occasion, the Holy Father wrote that he joins with them “in a joyous song of thanksgiving to the Lord for the fruits of Christian life that He has blessed this local Church with” and that “constitute a significant phase in the history of a church.”
