We are living in days that call for the unconquerable faith of Abraham, and likewise, the faith of Ignatius and the Jesuit missionaries and martyrs, not to mention my predecessors who helped lay the foundations of the Church in these United States.

The United States remains an unfinished project—it is a country still being born. So too, the Jesuit mission here is unfinished—it is a story still being written by the Spirit.

So let this venerable icon symbolize our hope today. We are, after all, Roman Catholics. We are thus embraced in Mary’s title, “health of the Roman people.” On this, the final day of our pilgrimage of hope, let us entrust to her every worry, every concern, every weakness that we brought with us from across the ocean.

As the family of the Knights of Columbus, we have restored the symbol of Peter’s confession of faith.

What ties together these two saints for us concretely is the image of the Sacred Heart which we, the Knights of Columbus, restored. As we gaze upon the open heart of the Savior, the abyss of charity, we see abundant room for a Francis of Assisi, for an Ignatius of Loyola, for a Blessed Michael McGivney, and yes, for you and even me.
