And long may he reign.
Popes suffer a lot. There is an old story in Rome that St. Peter had scars running down his cheeks from the countless tears he shed.
Hic ait ad Petrum: "Simon, me diligis, an non?"
Ter cui Petrus ait: "Scis quia temet amo."
"Si me," Christus ait, "Hortor, tu diligis, agnos pasce meos, Petre, cum pietatis ope."
