RE: Papal Funeral of JP II
Your All Holiness,
It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that His Holiness John Paul II, has been called home by his Father. In the reading of his will, he insisted that a special place be set aside for you at his Funeral. As such I am extending the invitation to be part of the Celebration. He has set aside the first seat in the section reserved for Church not in Full Communion with Rome. As it would seem that he wanted his Funeral to be a shining example of Spiritual Fraternity with his Christian Brothers in the faith. As such I also want to express my personal hope that you shall take him up on this offer.
Yours in our shared Faith in Christ;
<Signed>
