Lamplighter
Award given to those fostering the light
of truth in a dark world:
To Cardinal Raymond Burke whose strong defense of the faith at the Extraordinary Synod on the Family gave hope and encouragement to laity defending the faith. May he continue to be a tireless voice for truth and charity. We invoke the intercession of St. Athanasius, the scourge of the Arians, for this bold lion of God.
