Today, in a packed St Peter’s Square, the Holy Father canonised seven new saints. The group includes two martyrs, three laypeople, and two founders of religious congregations. Among them are the first saint from Papua New Guinea and the first two from Venezuela, marking a historic moment for the Church in Latin America.
The homily given by His Holiness reflects on faith as the greatest treasure, the importance of trust in God’s justice and providence, divine justice as mercy, the necessity of constant prayer, and how the seven new saints embody these virtues.
