May God bless His Eminence Cardinal Hummes with a blessed old age and health. May he remain strong in the faith and hopefully can perhaps still continue to work great graces and good works of love and peace even after he has been retired to the people as the helper of the Vicar of Christ our Pope, as he continues to minister to the people of God. We thank him for his good service as the shepherd of the faithful in Sao Paulo and Brazil.
