Speech for the closing of the diocesan information process on the life, virtues and reputation for holiness of the Servant of God, Marino, Basilica of San Barnaba, 21 May 2005, Mons. Marcello Semeraro

«(...) Holiness is a gift that is received together with others, because the call to holiness is like creation: it is willed by God in plurality. If, therefore, I said before that holiness is the unification of one's life in Christ, now I feel I must add that one can never be saints alone. Let us recognize them as Christians, baptized and children of God in this Holy Church of Albano. Those who feel united with Zaccaria Negroni in the spiritual life and particularly in the associative adhesion to the Italian Catholic Action, or in an analogous lay commitment to the disinterested service of the community and in the commitment on the frontiers of politics, recognize it together with us. Yes, let us welcome this lesson. We are Christians, but not alone; one is saints, but never, however, alone, because holiness exists only in and as a communion of saints".
