Lumen Fidei The Light of Faith Encyclical Letter

Lumen Fidei (The Light of Faith) is Pope Francis’ first encyclical.
It was the work of “four hands”, the Holy Father himself told that Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI had handed over his draft of the encyclical which deals with several themes on faith.

Among the themes are the nature of ecclesial collegiality and the synodal structure in the service of the Church's universal mission and in cooperation with the Petrine ministry, the crisis of the family, care for the created order, and the recovery of a whole and wholesome understanding of human being.

“It is an extremely powerful document,” Pope Francis said “The majority of the work was done by him [Benedict XVI].”
