Papa emeritus 

Città del Vaticano

Most honorable Delegate-General, 

I have at last found the time to thank you for your letter of the past August 21. I am very glad that theUsus antiquus now lives in full peace within the Church, also among the young, supported and celebrated by great Cardinals. 

I will be spiritually with you. My state as a 'cloistered monk' does not allow me a presence that is also exterior. I leave my cloister only in particular cases, [when] personally invited by the Pope. 

In communion of prayer and friendship. 

Yours in the Lord, 

Benedict XVI
