"During my teenage years I felt the passion for the mission, which has never stopped over the years. When I was still in good health and no longer Bishop in Padua, I felt the inspiration to go on a mission in the Apostolic Prefecture of Robe, where there were few people to help the very poor population. As Bishop I am the successor of the Apostles, and here I compare myself and I am inspired by the ministry of the first Apostles and St. Paul. I consider it God's grace. Here I am a "simple missionary", without any other titles."
