Feast of Sts Peter and Paul, Apostles.“With all my strength I venerate the Rome of Peter and Paul, bathed in the blood of martyrs, the center from which so many have set out to spread Christ’s saving word throughout the world. Being Roman does not mean being narrow-minded, but rather authentically ecumenical. It presupposes a desire to enlarge one’s heart, to open it to everyone with the redemptive zeal of Christ, who seeks and welcomes all, for he loved everyone first.”
