On the joyful occasion of the elevation of His Holiness Benedict XVI to the throne of Peter, the Superior General of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, together with his confreres spread throughout the world and the laypeople associated with them in the mission of education, express their sentiments of profound joy.

Aware that our troubled world has ever greater need of the light of Christ and that the task of spreading that light is well placed in the hands of the new Sovereign Pontiff, they accompany their sentiments with fervent prayer.

Devotedly yours in the Lord,

Br. Avaro Rodriuez Echeverri
Superior General
