Pope Leo XIV is set to canonize seven new saints this Sunday, even as a Vatican court moves ahead with its abuse trial of former Jesuit and artist Fr Marco Rupnik. This week on Register Radio we are joined by Catholic News Agency's senior Vatican correspondent, Hannah Brockhaus.And then, we mark World Mission Sunday this week with Msgr. Roger Landry, National Director of the Pontifical Mission Society USA.
‘These new saints lived Jesus’ way: service,’ Pope Francis said Oct. 20.
The two saints, both born in Italy in the 19th century, ministered to others. The Holy Father also mentioned, at the Angelus, ‘Regarding the beginning of the Council 60 years ago, we should not forget the danger of nuclear war that menaced the world right at that time. Why don’t we learn from history? Even at that moment, there were conflicts and huge tensions, but the way of peace was chosen.’
Titus Brandsma and Charles de Foucauld both joined the communion of saints yesterday, though their journeys to canonization were just as different as their lives.
‘By embracing with enthusiasm their vocation — as a priest, as a consecrated woman, as a layperson — they devoted their lives to the Gospel. They discovered an incomparable joy, and they became brilliant reflections of the Lord of history.’
It was the Church’s first canonization since that of St. John Henry Newman and four others in October 2019.
Paul VI joins six others being raised to the altars.
Among those being canonized Sunday is Father Francesco Spinelli.
