One of the popes\u2019 most important duties is to implement Jesus\u2019 command to Peter to strengthen his brothers and sisters in the faith (Luke 22:32).<\/p>\n

That\u2019s one of the reasons why it is particularly striking that in the Year of Faith, we have an encyclical on faith written, as Pope Francis said, by \u201cfour hands\u201d \u2014 his and Benedict XVI\u2019s and fittingly signed on the feast of St. Peter. The didactic duet and distinguished date suggest that\u00a0Lumen Fidei\u00a0<\/em>(The\u00a0<\/b>Light of Faith) is less the act of a particular pope and more the faithful exercise of the Petrine office in apostolic succession.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis dramatically reinforced this impression by publishing it on the same day he approved the recommendations for the canonization of Popes John XXIII and John Paul II. These two were responsible for the two greatest papal attempts to strengthen the faith of the Church in recent memory, the Second Vatican Council and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, both of whose jubilees are the occasion for this special Year of Faith.<\/p>\n

The faith is transmitted by \u201cliving persons in a way consonant with the living faith,\u201d\u00a0Lumen Fidei\u00a0<\/em>underlines, referring to apostolic succession. The encyclical is evidence that faith is strengthened in the same way.<\/p>\n

If there were an official motto for the Year of Faith, it would surely be the apostles\u2019 plea, \u201cLord, increase our faith\u201d (Luke 17:5).\u00a0Lumen Fidei\u00a0<\/em>identifies four ways the faith of believers can be augmented and reinforced.<\/p>\n

The first is in our capacity to see by the light of faith. \u201cThere is an urgent need,\u201d the encyclical says, \u201cto see once again that faith is a light\u201d intended to illumine \u201cevery aspect of human existence.\u201d Faith ultimately means to see things \u201cas Jesus sees them, with his own eyes,\u201d an eye transplant every believer needs.<\/p>\n

The second intensification is in our hearing. Faith comes through hearing, St. Paul writes (Romans 10:17), and each of us needs to tune anew into the Good Shepherd\u2019s voice speaking to us, calling us to follow him, and summoning us to become those who \u201chear the word of God and do it\u201d with loving, trusting obedience (Luke 8:21).<\/p>\n

The third growth is through the sense of touch. The encyclical challenges us to open ourselves to the interior caress of Christ\u2019s love and to respond like the hemorrhaged woman in the Gospel (Luke 8:45) by reaching out in faith to touch him in return. This heart to heart contact happens above all in through the sacraments.<\/p>\n

The last maturation is in our memory. Faith,\u00a0Lumen Fidei\u00a0<\/em>declares, is a living memory of the history of salvation preserved in the heart of the Church. Like Mary\u2019s heart, our heart is called to ponder the meaning of these wondrous deeds, treasure them and unite God\u2019s past miracles and future promises in a present full of confident hope.<\/p>\n

Lumen Fidei\u00a0<\/em>seeks to strengthen our faith in each of the four ways so that we can more fully share in St. John\u2019s authentically sacramental outlook, \u201cWhat we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life\u201d (1 John 1:1), and can transmit that glorious living memory to others.<\/p>\n

The encyclical also tries to fortify our faith by responding to various contemporary doubts, attitudes and idolatries that undermine believing. It does so very subtly, so subtly that it\u2019s easy to miss. In order to grasp the encyclical\u2019s structure and greatness, however, it\u2019s important to see these considerations hiding in the background.<\/p>\n

For the most part,\u00a0Lumen Fidei\u00a0<\/em>doesn\u2019t criticize or even mention these challenges by name, but rather shows what faith is, positively and attractively, enticing people away from these common snares.<\/p>\n

We can mention a dozen of the most noteworthy examples, in honor of the 12 articles of the Creed.<\/p>\n

In response to the idea that faith is an outdated relic of the Dark Ages retarding mankind\u2019s growth, the encyclical shows how Christian faith provides the foundation for fidelity in interpersonal relationships without which society would be debilitated by fear.<\/p>\n

Against those who posit that faith seduces people to abandon the world and live for an ethereal Jerusalem, the encyclical emphasizes that raising hands in prayer strengthens them to build an earthly city founded not just on justice but charity and mercy.<\/p>\n

In contrast to the secularism that organizes society as if God is distant or dead and makes utilitarianism the principle of justice in human relationships, faith makes God tangible and Christ-like love possible.<\/p>\n

For relativists who respond to the horror totalitarianism by rejecting not false anthropology but truth as a whole, the encyclical shows how the truth of God\u2019s love embraced and reciprocated in faith frees us from solipsism (the belief that knowledge of anything outside one\u2019s own mind is not sure), rehabilitates our memory and lead us to treat others not with force but humility and reverence.<\/p>\n

To the rationalists who believe truth is only what can be verified through the scientific method,\u00a0Lumen Fidei\u00a0<\/em>proclaims that faith draws reason beyond formulae and opens knowledge to the wonders and richness of creation.<\/p>\n

To those who look at faith as a burden, the encyclical testifies that faith is a treasure that makes us exceedingly rich, a good news of great joy meant to be shared contagiously, and a light capable of setting an often dark world ablaze.<\/p>\n

Anticipating the objections of those who claim faith is dry, cold and boring,\u00a0Lumen Fidei\u00a0<\/em>shows that the life of faith is a drama involving not just the head but the heart, an assent not principally to a list of truths but to Person, and a passionate life that transforms crosses into signs and means of love.<\/p>\n

For individualists tempted to privatize faith, the encyclical discloses how faith is personal but communal, bringing us into communion with the eternal Trialogue and into the family of believers.<\/p>\n

To those inveigled to view the content of the faith as an \u00e0 la carte buffet,\u00a0Lumen Fidei\u00a0<\/em>describes how the truths of faith are interconnected and are meant to connect us with God and others. To subtract from the truths of faith is, therefore, to wound communion.<\/p>\n

For those who try to reduce faith to doctrine and separate faith from life, the encyclical illustrates how faith is meant to be lived, as we see beautifully and compellingly in the lives of Abraham and Mary.<\/p>\n

For Protestants tempted toward affirming salvation by faith alone, the encyclical shows how faith leads us to live in the Lord\u2019s love to such a degree that it overflows in deeds of love.<\/p>\n

Finally, for those who prefer to believe in Christ without believing in the Church,\u00a0Lumen Fidei\u00a0<\/em>stresses the ecclesial dimension of the faith, that to believe in Christ means to believe in, care for, and build up his body he loves as his beloved bride.<\/p>\n

In inoculating us against each of these common viruses that lead to spiritual blindness, deafness, insensitivity and amnesia, the encyclical not only strengthens and augments the faith of believers but reinforces how important faith is for humanity\u2019s present and future.<\/p>\n

Lumen Fidei\u00a0<\/em>summons all those in the Church to take the bushel basket off the Light of Faith and set it on a lampstand for the whole world to see.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
