The bearer of this letter, Severus — a man of distinction and good standing — is known to us personally and is deserving of every assistance. I commend him warmly to Your Fraternity, asking that you receive him with the kindness his character warrants, and provide him whatever support his needs require. When we commend such a person, it reflects our own care for those whom God has placed in our charge. Do not let him find himself without support where the Church's pastoral reach extends.
