PRAYER

We thank you Lord for having donated to the Church Don Francesco Bonifacio, priest according to your heart, apostle of the Gospel, martyr of the faith. Please Lord grant the Church holy priests like Don Francesco Bonifacio all dedicated to your glory and full of charity for your people. We invoke you Lord so that the painful martyrdom of Don Francesco Bonifacio may be fruitful of reconciliation and our lands may be illuminated by faith, justice and peace.

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.
