With a gesture of charity towards the neediest...

Here's the text of the Nuncio's message from Pope Francis to the clergy and people of Buenos Aires. (The Nuncio is the official Vatican ambassador to a particular country.)

Apostolic Nunciature
Buenos Aires

March 14, 2013

Your Excellency,

I have the honor and the satisfaction of turning to you to inform you that the Holy Father Francis has asked me to transmit to all Bishops, Priests, Religious men and women, and to all the People of God his cherished recognition for the prayers and the expressions of warmth, affection, and charity that he has received. At the same time, he would wish that, instead of going to Rome for the beginning of his Pontificate next March 19, you may keep this spiritual closeness that is so much appreciated, accompanying it with some gesture of charity towards the neediest.

I take this joyful opportunity to vouch to you my sentiments of respectful attention.

+Emil Paul Tscherrig
Apostolic Nuncio
