VICAR GENERAL OF OUR MOST HOLY LORD, THE POPE
ORDINARY JUDGE OF THE ROMAN CURIA AND ITS DISTRICT, etc.
To all and any who shall inspect the present letters, we make known and attest that we, for the greater glory of God and the veneration of His Saints, have recognized these particles
from the bones of Blessed Innocent XI, Pope and Confessor.
These we have reverently placed in a silver case of oval shape, well sealed, tied with a red cord, and marked with our seal. We have delivered them with the faculty of retaining them and exposing them to the public veneration of the Faithful, according to the norms of Canon Law (nos. 1282 and 1289).
In witness whereof, we have ordered these testimonial letters, signed by Us or by another Prelate delegated by Apostolic Authority from Us, and secured with our seal, to be issued.
Given at Rome, from the Offices of the Vicariate, on the 28th day of the month of July, in the year of Our Lord 1977.
