The council Fathers together with the Roman Pontiff, feeling deeply their duty to spread everywhere the Kingdom of God, lovingly salute all heralds of the Gospel, and especially those who suffer persecution for the name of Christ, being made partakers of their sufferings^{[[#^ag-fn-ch6-13|13]]} ^ag-42 They are afire with that same love with which Christ burned toward men.
