Pope Francis thanked Cardinal Tomasi, for the positive work that he has done since accepting the appointment as his Special Delegate to the Order of Malta.
“It is important that the Extra Ordinary General Chapter be celebrated in conditions that will ensure the necessary renewal in the life of the Order,” the Pope wrote in the letter sent to the cardinal. As the special representative of the Pope, Cardinal Tomasi can attain the power that requires in the aspect of the ordinary government of the Order.
Pope Francis concluded by expressing encouragement and support for the Sovereign Order of Malta and for the many works of charity it carries out thanks to the collaboration of members and volunteers in different parts of the world.
