Regina Caeli of Pope Francis



FEAST OF PENTECOST

REGINA COELI

Yesterday, in El Salvador and Kenya, were beatified a bishop and a nun. The first is Msgr. Oscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, killed in hatred of the faith while celebrating the Eucharist. This zealous pastor, an example of Jesus, chose to be among his people, especially the poor and the oppressed, even at the cost of his life. The nun is Sister Irene Stefani, an Italian, of the Consolata Missionaries, who served the Kenyan people with joy, mercy and tender compassion. The heroic example of these blesseds inspire in each of us the fervent desire to witness to the Gospel with courage and self-sacrifice.
