Words from Maria Freschi to the Propagandists and people in charge of the plague for the offer given in favor of Villa Pace (20/09/1943)

«Dear ones, with deep emotion I received your gift for the Name of Mary. May the Lord reward you for all your generous goodness, and grant us to soon be able to raise to him, in the joy of the peace of the resurrection, the hymn of thanksgiving in the Chapel of the new Villa della Pace. In the hopeful expectation of this great day, may He obtain for us all to be little builders of 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.
