This gift was presented to Pope Francis by the postulator of the cause of St. Peter Faber, Father Anton Witwer, SJ, and the Vice-Postulator Father Marc Lindeijer, SJ. It is a facsimile of the Final Vows of St. Peter Faber in 1541.
In his homily, Pope Francis praised Faber's "restlessness" to his brother Jesuits: "This is the restlessness that Peter Faber had, a man of great dreams." He was, said the pope, a "modest man, sensitive, with a deep inner life and endowed with the gift of making friends with people of all kinds."
"However, he was also a restless spirit, indecisive, never satisfied...He was a man of great desires, and he took charge of his desires, recognized them."
