“Happy New Year to all! On this first day of 2013, I would like God’s blessing to be extended to every man and every woman in the world. I do this with the ancient formula contained in Sacred Scripture: ‘The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and show thee mercy. The Lord turn his face to you and give you peace’ (Numbers 6:24-26).”
As he offered his address, in Saint Peter’s Square, for the first Angelus prayer of 2013, Pope Benedict XVI asked God’s blessing on each person throughout the world as we begin our journey into calendar year 2013.
