Rorate Caeli

Happy birthday

Excerpt of the birthday message sent to the Pope by his brother, Canon Georg Ratzinger, for his birthday in 2006:
"May the Lord give you spiritual and intellectual inspiration, and also physical strength, to thus be able to take the right decisions and to find the proper words, and to remain brave and steady on the waves which, according to a secret Divine will, surround the Church, and you with her."

"Oremus pro invicem."
The waves are mighty, indeed...
