Prayer

God, who are there Father, we praise you and bless you because in Santa Gianna Beretta Mollaci you have given and made known a woman who is a witness of the Gospel as a young woman, wife, mother and doctor. We thank you because, also through the gift of her life, you make us learn to welcome and honor every human creature.

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.
