In his speech following reciting the prayer Rejoice, Queen of Heaven, Pope Francis recalls the announcement of the beatification of Bishop Jacinto Vera and the young woman, Maria de la Concepción Parishiguren y García, and calls for the recitation of the Rosary prayer for peace
After reciting the prayer Rejoice, Queen of Heaven, His Holiness Pope Francis greeted the faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square and said, “Dear brothers and sisters, two beatifications were celebrated yesterday.” In Montevideo, Uruguay, Bishop Jacinto Vera, who lived in the nineteenth century, was beatified. A shepherd who cared for his people, witnessed the gospel with generous missionary encouragement, and promoted social reconciliation in the tense climate of civil war. And in Granada, in Spain, the young María de la Concepción Barichigurín y García was beatified, who, being bedridden by a serious illness, bore sufferings with great spiritual strength, arousing in all admiration and consolation. He died in 1927 at the age of 22.
Pope Francis continued saying I salute the Society “Meterand its founder, Father Fortunato de Noto, who continue their commitment to preventing and combating violence once morest minors, which today celebrates the 28th day of children, child victims, and for 30 years defending childhood from abuse and violence. I am close to you brothers and sisters and I accompany you with prayer and with my love: do not tire Never stand by the victim, there you will find the Christ child waiting for you, thank you!
And Pope Francis concluded by saying that tomorrow in Bombay, the traditional prayer of the Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Rosary, will rise in that shrine that Blessed Bartolo Longo wanted to dedicate to peace. In this month of May, let us pray the Rosary, asking the Virgin for the gift of peace, especially for the tormented Ukraine; For the leaders of countries to listen to the desire of the people who suffer and want peace!
