«Today, with this embrace of yours – replied Miglio – I understood that being a cardinal is a demanding and serious thing. I say thank you for this to Pope Francis for the trust, to the Diocese for the gift of faith that I have received here, while I am waiting to understand if I must also thank the Lord for this call ”.
