State funeral in the Cathedral of Silvio Berlusconi: the homily of the Archbishop of Milan, Monsignor Mario Delpini. «Silvio Berlusconi was certainly a politician, he was certainly a businessman, he was certainly a figure in the limelight of notoriety. But in this moment of farewell and prayer, what can we say about Silvio Berlusconi? He was a man: a desire for life, a desire for love, a desire for joy. And now we celebrate the mystery of fulfillment. He is a man and now he meets God». These are the words with which the Archbishop remembered Silvio Berlusconi, who passed away on 12 June, presiding over the state funeral in the Cathedral. The readings for the celebration (Dn 12. 1-3) Psalms 41-42, 2Cor (5, 1.6-10), Gv (6.37-40) were personally chosen by Archbishop Mario Delpini.
