With profound emotion, I learned the unexpected news that Cardinal Joachim Meisner has been called from this earth by the God of mercy.

With profound faith and sincere love for the Church, Cardinal Meisner dedicated himself to the proclamation of the Good News.
May the Risen Christ reward him for his faithful and intrepid commitment to the good of men of the East and the West, and make him a participant in the communion of the Saints in heaven.
