ROME, ITALY - JUNE 29: People take pictures of the flower mosaic featuring Pope Francis in Saint Peter's Square during the 'Infiorata,' or flower art festival, as part of the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul on June 29, 2013 in Rome, Italy. Pope Francis delivered the homily at Mass in St Peter's Basilica this morning to mark the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles and Patrons of the city of Rome. In his remarks following the Gospel reading, the Holy Father focused on a particular task of the Petrine ministry, which is to strengthen, or confirm, all the faithful.
