GUATEMALA CITY (VIS) - The following is from the homily of Pope John Paul II for the Canonization of St. Pedro de Betancur:
"Brother Pedro personifies a heritage which must not be lost; we should always be thankful for it and we should renew our resolve to imitate it. This heritage should inspire in Christians and in all citizens a desire to transform the human community into a great family, in which social, political and economic relations may be worthy of man, and in which the dignity of the person is promoted, with the effective recognition of his inalienable rights.
I would like to end by recalling how devotion to the Blessed Virgin always accompanied Brother Pedro in his life of devotion and mercy. May she guide us too, so that enlightened by the example of the 'man who was charity,' we may reach her Son, Jesus. Amen."A subscription is required to access this content.
