From the homily of the beatification

"All these brothers, persevering in their consecration to God and in their dedication to the service of the sick and in fidelity to the values ​​of the charism and hospitaller mission they practiced, gave their lives for the faith and as the supreme proof of love. Their martyrdom follows in the footsteps of Christ, merciful and good Samaritan, so close to man who suffers by giving his life for the salvation of the human race."

Pope Leo XIV – General Audience, November 5, 2025

The recent feast of Saints
It suggests to me a reflection on the common vocation to holiness.
We are all called to be saints.
I therefore invite you to adhere more and more to Christ,
following the criteria of authenticity of which the Saints have given us the example.
