I am motivated to do this by an extraordinary surge of people who these days gathered to honor the departed cardinal, as I became aware of. This presence is an eloquent sign of what he was one of the highest moral and respectable authorities in the last decades of the Ukrainian people, "the letter says..

Also, the Pope stressed that Lubomir Guzar was the father and spiritual mentor for the entire Greek Catholic church, which he was able to return to "the joy of his own history".

And numerous people felt they were represented, they found advice and comfort, believers and non-believers, despite the confessional differences. Everyone felt that the Christian, the Ukrainian, was speaking, is carried away by his identity, always full of hopes, open to the future in the Lord. He had a word for everyone, with the warmth of his great humanity and graceful politeness "felt" people, "says the letter.
