POPE FRANCIS GENERAL AUDIENCE
Wednesday, 21 June 2017
Dear Brothers and Sisters: In our continuing catechesis on Christian hope, we now look to the saints, to “those who
have gone before us marked with the sign of faith”. The Letter to the Hebrews speaks of the saints as “a great cloud
of witnesses” who support us on our pilgrim way through this present life. In the sacraments of baptism, marriage
and ordination, we pray the Litany of the Saints to implore their intercession and help in the particular vocation we
have received. The lives of the saints remind us that the Christian ideal is not unattainable. Despite our human
weakness, we can always count on God’s grace and the prayers of the saints to sustain us in faith and in hope for the
transfiguration of this world and the fulfilment of Christ’s promises in the next. May the Lord enable all of us to
become saints, to be living images of Christ in our time. May he strengthen us to be his witnesses and to bring the
Gospel to all our brothers and sisters, especially the suffering and those most in need of its message of undying hope.

Consecration of Canada to the Immaculate Heart of Mary During a Marian Conference in Ottawa seventy years ago, before a crowd of over half a million, including cardinals,
bishops and thousands of priests, our country was solemnly consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the greatest
model of faithfulness to God’s plan for our salvation.
To mark the 150th Anniversary of the Canadian Confederation, the bishops of Canada will renew that consecration to
Our Lady. Bishop Jensen will make the act of consecration for our diocese Sunday, July 2, 2017 at the 11:00 AM Mass at
Sacred Heart Cathedral.
