Vatican
City, 12 April 2013 (VIS) – At 10:00 this morning, the Holy Father Frances went
to the library of the Secretariat of State to meet the entire staff of the two
sections of the Secretariat, that is, nearly 300 people—not only priests but
also religious and lay men and women.
The
Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, S.D.B., greeted the Pope with a
brief address of welcome and presentation, assuring the Pope of the dedicated
and cordial service of all those present who work in the Secretariat of State,
which is fully the “Pope's Secretariat”.
The
Pope responded with a few brief words emphasizing his sincere and heartfelt
gratitude for the welcome he has been given and for all the work carried out in
this period, noting that tomorrow will already be a month from his election, as
well as for the priceless commitment of service carried out by all the members
of the Secretariat of State.
