Pope Francis presided over the canonisation Mass of 14 new saints on 20 October.
They included eleven martyrs murdered in Syria in the 19th century, and three founders of religious orders.
“These new saints have lived the style of Jesus: service,” Pope Francis said in his homily. “The faith and apostolate they exercised did not nourish in them worldly desires and cravings for power, but, on the contrary, made them servants of their brothers and sisters, creative in good, steadfast in difficulties, generous to the end."
