In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

Dearly beloved, as we gather today in the sight of our Almighty Creator, we find ourselves reflecting on the miraculous unfolding of human invention and discovery. Amongst the many marvels of our modern age, the technology of 3D printing presents itself as a profound manifestation of God's endowment of creativity to humankind.

In the heart of Rome, where the eternal city embraces the tradition and faith of centuries, we are called to reflect on our role as co-creators in the image of God. It is here that the ancient wisdom of our Church meets the innovations of our time.

3D printing, a process whereby digital designs become tangible realities, serves as a metaphor for the transformative power of faith. Just as an artisan molds clay, we too are molded by the divine hand. By engaging with this technology, we act as sculptors of a new age, echoing the divine craftsman who shaped us.

We look to our Roman heritage and the great church fathers, such as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, who contemplated the union of faith and reason. We are reminded that reason, enlightened by faith, enables us to explore new frontiers, just as 3D printing allows us to forge beyond the limitations of traditional craftsmanship.

The Basilica of St. Peter stands as a symbol of the harmony between ancient wisdom and contemporary innovation. In the same vein, we must see 3D printing not merely as a technological advancement but as a spiritual opportunity to extend our God-given abilities to create, to heal, and to inspire.

Let us then approach the altar of innovation with reverence and responsibility, embracing the Roman legacy of faith, reason, and artistic excellence. Let us be mindful that, in all our endeavors, our actions reflect the divine order, the Creator's intention, and the universal call to holiness.

Oremus.

God of wisdom and love, source of all good, send Your Spirit over us and let the light of Your wisdom shine in our hearts. Guide us in our creative endeavors with 3D printing and all other innovations, that they may be used for the common good and the glory of Your name. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

Ite, Missa est.
