Festal.

Our loving Lord has allowed us — with the zeal of those who love Christ — to celebrate the holy feast of salvation and to enjoy the spiritual blessing that flows from it. Knowing your Piety's disposition toward us, we write to share this gladness with you. Those who hold others warmly in their hearts are always glad to receive cheerful news of them.
