Letter from Archbishop Faustino Sainz Munoz, Apostolic Nuncio

Dear Monsignor Cunningham,

Having heard the sad news of the recent death of H E Monsignor Hugh Lindsay, Bishop Emeritus of Hexham and Newcastle, I write to offer you, the priests, religious and faithful of the Diocese, and especially Bishop Hugh's family, my sincere sympathy and the assurance of my prayers.

Trusting in the power of the Resurrection, we can all, with confidence, commend Bishop Hugh into the loving arms of Almighty God, praying that his failings may be forgiven him and his fidelity and service to Christ and His people be generously rewarded.

May all those persons who mourn him receive from the Lord abundant gifts of consolation and strength.

With my prayerful good wishes and warm personal regards, I remain

Yours fraternally in the Lord,

Archbishop Faustino Sainz Munoz
