BRIEF STOP AT THE PARISH CHURCH OF BOTTICINO SERA
AND VENERATION OF THE MORTAL REMAINS OF ST ARCANGELO TADINI

WORDS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI

Brescia
Sunday, 8 November 2009

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I am very happy to be in the Parish of St Tadini. I canonized him quite recently and I was edified by this figure of spiritual life who was at the same time a great personality in the social life of the 19th and 20th centuries. With his work he made a gift to humanity and invites all of us to love God, to love Christ, to love Our Lady and to communicate this love to others; to work so that a fraternal world may come into being in which each one lives not for himself but for others. Then I thank you for your warm welcome. It gives me great joy to see the Church alive and joyful here. I wish you a good Sunday and many good things. My best wishes and thanks to you!
