	St. Peter's - The Square (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Peter's Square has the shape of an immense ellipse (the visitor who stands in one of the two centers of this ellipse, marked by two white disks, one on each side of the obelisk, sees a single row of columns), 320 m.
		In his design for the very vast surface of the square, which at that time may have appeared to be overlarge, Bernini abandoned Bramante's project envisaging four straight arcades arranged to form a square, adopting an oval shape which, however, was not favorably viewed by Alexander VII.
		This is both a technical and an artistic device, which permits anyone moving around the square to enjoy the effects of a lively theatrical spectacle, but also of control of the immense space; it is a grandiose solution but at the same time is on a human scale.

		The Pontiff wished to give a thorough depiction of the person of Saint Peter and his spiritual itinerary toward Christ, “a strong and impulsive character, Peter allowed himself to be involved in this great adventure,” the Pontiff added.

		In this time of darkness, we have something to learn, and a perspective to regain, from Saint John’s Gospel.
		That translation, known as the Septuagint, uses the Greek word for “virgin” to translate the Hebrew word which means “young woman.” The Evangelist Saint Matthew, in turn, uses that translation in his Gospel as predicting the birth of Jesus from the Virgin Mary.
		I have preached my fair share of ordination sermons — I can still picture every one of those ordinands and I continue to pray for them regularly — but this is the very first time I have actually believed that the words of our first reading are absolutely true for the person being ordained.
