Lumen Fidei

(The Light of Faith)

Persons always live in relationship. We come from others, we belong to others, and our lives are enlarged by our encounter with others.

Pope Francis, 2013

In his first encyclical Pope Francis focuses on the importance of faith in human life and its role in guiding individuals and society towards truth and the good.

It explores faith as a gift from God, a light that illuminates our path, and a transformative force that shapes our understanding of reality and our relationships with God and others.
