Tonino Bello, December 8, 1990

“Be above all men. Until the end. Actually up to the top. Because being men to the top means being saints... And, in addition to being members of Catholic Action, you are experts in Active Catholicity: capable, that is, of ecumenical welcome, provocateurs of planetary solidarity, missionaries "to the extremes", prophets of justice and peace... willing to pay with their skin the price of that communion for which Christ Jesus, your incredible love, gave his life".

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.
