As the clergy becomes increasingly indigenous, I wish to pay homage to the work which has been patiently and heroically carried out by the missionaries in proclaiming Christ and his Gospel and in giving birth to the Christian communities for which you today are responsible.
Mientras el clero llega a ser autóctono, quisiera congratularme por el trabajo paciente realizado por los misioneros para anunciar a Cristo y su Evangelio, y para dar vida a las comunidades cristianas que vosotros apacentáis hoy.
