Vatican City, 9 December 2014 (VIS) –
Pope Francis has sent a telegram of condolences to Alejandro Jaime
Mejia for the death of his brother, Cardinal Jorge Maria Mejia,
archivist and librarian emeritus of the Holy Roman Church, at the age
of 91. The Pontiff comments that the cardinal dedicated “long years
of service with fidelity and competence to various organs of the Holy
See”, and assures his prayers for the deceased, to whom he was
joined in “a long friendship”, so that the Lord may grant peace
to the Cardinal, who demonstrated “such intense and generous
commitment to the Church”.
“With faith in the Paschal mystery of
Christ, that illuminates and fills Christian life with hope, and the
memory of a Pastor devoted to the evangelising mission, I beg for
divine consolation in these moments of suffering, for you and for
those loved ones who mourn his passing, to whom I impart the comfort
of my heartfelt apostolic blessing”, he concluded.
