Today it is your feet that I wish to kiss, despite my religious rank and my age. It is not simply an act of paternal love that wish to accomplish, but rather an act of faith in the very words of our Holy Books « Quam pulchri pedes evangelizantium pacem, evangelizantium bona ». You will do as I do, my dear Brethren, and through this act of religious respect you will acquire a right to the merit of the apostles and martyrs.
