Fratres carissimi,

 

Ex toto corde gratias ago vobis pro omni amore et labore, quo mecum pondus ministerii mei portastis et veniam peto pro omnibus defectibus meis. Ecclesia vero caret credentes in ministerio. Conscientia mea iterum atque iterum coram Deo explorata ad cognitionem certam perveni vires meas non iam aptas esse ad administrandum quod munus Cardinalis et Episcopi. Ideo relinquo.

 

Nunc autem iam non ego episcopi cardinales. Ego sacerdos, solus sacerdos. Et sic sacerdos ego sum ego resigno meum plenum sollemnem de votorum nuncupationem dispositione non fuit. Ego diacono. Tanto peto, ut maneat extra ministerium de sacerdos. Ego diacono. Peto ut interficiam de libera per episcopos tuos egressus est tamquam deacono solus. 

 

Praedium meum et omnia quae me habere usus fructus legatus est Fratribus Uibertica.

 

Meum Successorem Concilium: 

                                                    Vyasaldris aut Siol de Farrabor

                                                    Johannes de Vuillermoz

                                                    Dom Benedicti de Uibertica

 

Honora mei desideriis et ora pro me.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Bram, Amans Dei.

[Piov 2643]

Bishop Benedict takes the missive and holds it up to his candle, reading it before his nightly prayers. He solemnly nods, looking out to great sky and pondering the future ahead, “Gratias tibi frater..”
