Dear Our Holy Father ,

We have great joy to say how delighted we were at the elevated responsibility you received. Your great contribution for the world has at least been publicly recognized by the award of Our Lord. We know that our Prayers have been answered.

We will share this great event with our community of 650 Vietnamese Catholics in Russian Federation who will rejoice with us.

Thank you God for giving us a new shepherd. We trust that you will be a father of great faith and spirit. May the Lord watch over you and keep you close throughout your pontificate, for the greater glory of God!

All of us would like to loudly say :

-Please visit us in Russia soon! We love You !

- Moi Cha den que huong Vietnam ! (In Vietnamese)

And we hope with all our heart that you will come to visit our native land Vietnam !

Hope to see you in World Youth Day in Cologne !

May the Lord bless Benedict XVI papacy! Our Lady of the Rosary intercedes for You !

Yours In Christ
