Most Reverend Father,
Having learned of the death of His Excellency, Monsignor Giuseppe Pittau, I wish to express my sincere condolences to you, to fellow Jesuit brothers and to all those who mourn the death of this exemplary minister of God who lived for the cause of the Gospel. Recalling his generous missionary apostolate in Japan, where he ended his earthly life, I give thanks to the Lord for the service he rendered to the Apostolic See, as secretary of the Congregation for Catholic Education, and for his commitment as rector of the Gregorian University in Rome, as well as his dedication to the Society of Jesus. I entrust his soul to the maternal intercession of the Virgin Mary and, in the light of the Resurrection of Christ, I send my comforting Apostolic blessing.
