"These martyrs of the faith were persecuted for the sake of evangelical justice and charity. May their example and their intercession support in particular those who work for a more just and supportive society"

Pope Leo XIV – General Audience, November 5, 2025

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.
