Giorgio La Pira, November 26, 1964

«The peoples and nations of the whole world now constitute an inseparable unity: this means that the scientific, technical, economic, social, political, cultural and religious problems of each people are problems whose solution organically affects all the other peoples of the globe! World plans are needed to eradicate hunger, unemployment, misery, ignorance everywhere; to fight disease everywhere and prolong life; to eradicate slavery and tyranny everywhere!”

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.
