"Today we bury his remains in the earth as a seed of immortality -- our hearts are full of sadness, yet at the same time of joyful hope and profound gratitude," Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals, said in his sermon.
«Danas sahranjujemo njegove posmrtne ostatke u zemlju, kao seme besmrtnosti -- naša srca puna su tuge, ali u isto vreme i radosne nade i duboke zahvalnosti», rekao je u svom govoru kardinal Jozef Racinger, dekan Kolegijuma kardinala.
