In front of this small sacred monument—even if it is only a very simple wooden cross that the pilgrim/hiker encounters on their journey—I would like to offer the viewer a brief spiritual impulse: The very first words that the newly elected Pope Leo XIV addressed to the faithful from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, even before he bestowed the traditional blessing "urbi et orbi" (to the city and the world): "Peace be with you all! Dear brothers and sisters, this is the first greeting of the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd... I too wish that this greeting of peace enters your hearts, reaches your families, all people, wherever they are, all nations, the whole earth. Peace be with you! This is the peace of the Risen Christ, an unarmed and disarming peace, humble and persevering. It comes from God, the God who loves us all unconditionally."
