Vatican City, 30 September 2015 (VIS) –
After today's catechesis, the Holy Father greeted among others the
Sister Servants of the Sacred Heart of Jesus from Poland, who are
currently in Rome, the “heart of the Church”, to give thanks for
the beatification of Klara Ludwika Szczesna, co-founder of this
congregation, in Krakow last Sunday. “By her life, the new Blessed
taught us about giving oneself to God, humble service to neighbours,
life according to the spirit of the Gospel, and sensitivity to the
poor, to those in need and those who have lost their way in life. May
her motto, “All for the Heart of Jesus”, be a challenge for all
of us, so that we may live according to God's will”.
He also blessed a statue of St. Rita of
Cascia, offered by a group of Lebanese faithful to the Italian
archdiocese of Spoleto-Norcia, which will be placed at the crossroads
between the saint's birthplace, Roccaporena, and Cascia, where her
relics are held. He invited all during the upcoming Jubillee of Mercy
to “reread her extraordinary human and spiritual experience as a
sign of the power of God's mercy”.
Finally, he recalled that today we
celebrate the memory of St. Jerome, and said, “Dear young people,
may his passion for the Sacred Scripture lead you to fall in love
with the Book of Life; dear sick people, may his austerity bring
meaning to your suffering; dear newlyweds, may his spiritual vigour
strengthen the faith of your new home”.
