A very unimpressive testament! Worse, a rather selfish testament! It is excessively and almost exclusively concerned with his burial.
I expect much more from a great pope!
He only granted a "fitting reward" to those who loved him and prayed for him. What about the rest of us?
First sentence: "... I wish to set out my final wishes solely regarding the place of my burial. ..."
Last sentence: "May the Lord grant a fitting reward to all those who have loved me and who continue to pray for me. The suffering that has marked the final part of my life, I offer to the Lord, for peace in the world and for fraternity among peoples."
