The Fisherman’s Ring

Did you know that each pope wears a custom ring engraved with his name? The ring, called The Fisherman’s Ring, depicts Saint Peter in a boat, a reference to his role as a fisher of men. The tradition of destroying the ring after each pope’s death was changed in 2013 when Pope Benedict XVI resigned. Instead of being destroyed, a deep cross was carved into his ring so it could no longer be used.

Do you know what love looks like? 

According to St. Augustine, love has the hands to help others. Love has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. Love has the eyes to see misery and want in a hurting world. Love has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of our brothers and sisters who suffer. This is what love looks like.
