To Reverend Michael Brehl, CSsR
Superior General
Congregation of theMost Holy Redeemer
His Holiness Pope Francis was pleased to be informed of the twenty-fifth General Chapter of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, to be held in Pattaya, Thailand, from 31st October to 26 November 2016. He assures you and your confreres of his Spiritual closeness as you gather for the election of the Superior General and General Consultors. His Holiness is confident that you and all the participants of the Chapter will find renewed inspiration in the charism of the Congregation and truly experience the freshness of the Gospel, from which “new avenues arise, new paths of creativity open up, with different forms of expression, more eloquent signs and words with new meaning for todays world” (Evangelii Gaudium 11). Commending your gathering to the maternal intercession of Mary, Mother of Perpetual Help, Pope Francis willingly imparts his Apostolic Blessing as a pledge of grace and peace in the Lord Jesus.
