beneath the shadow of the cross, when our faith
is called to mature.
Sow in our faith the joy of the Risen One.
Remind us that those who believe are never
alone.
Teach us to see all things with the eyes of
Jesus, that he may be light for our path. And may
this light of faith always increase in us, until the
dawn of that undying day which is Christ him-
self, your Son, our Lord!
Given in Rome, at Saint PeterâÂÂs, on 29 June,
the Solemnity of the Holy Apostles Peter and
Paul, in the year 2013, the first of my pontificate.
