From the homily of the beatification of John Paul II

«Pere Tarrés i Claret, first a doctor and then a priest, dedicated himself to the lay apostolate among the young people of Catholic Action of Barcelona, ​​of whom he later became an assistant. In exercising his medical profession, he dedicated himself with special concern to the poorest sick people, convinced that "the sick person is a symbol of the suffering Christ". Ordained a priest, he devoted himself with generous courage to the tasks of the ministry, remaining faithful to the commitment undertaken on the eve of his Ordination: "One resolution only, Lord, whatever the cost". »

Francis, Evangelii Gaudium 263

«Let's not say that today it is more difficult;
it's different. Let's learn rather
by the saints who have gone before us
and they faced the difficulties
characteristic of their era".
