See the note in full:
“Dear brothers! Moved by the spirit of Concord and peace, I want to ask forgiveness from all who felt saddened by my attitude yesterday, 5/25, in the parish of São Sebastião. I recognize my lack of charity towards the family, the child and the guests. At the end of the baptism, the family contacted me in the sacristy. I was able to ask for forgiveness for what happened, even though it was not intentional. Dom Luiz, our bishop, spoke to me and gave his guidance and corrections. I count on everyone's understanding and prayers! Life is a learning experience and at all times God wants to sanctify and purify us. Zeal for the sacraments must be accompanied by the spirit of fraternal and supportive charity. God bless us!”
