Raising up saints and intercessors: witnesses to Christ urgently needed

| | Comments (0)
A Church that no longer raises up holy men and women among her priests, laypeople and religious is a sterile mother. In fact, what matters the most is not the construction of huge buildings or realizing great projects. What the Church needs most is the witness of saints. Holiness is the sign of the Church's credibility. They are her letters of reference.
