Pope Francis beatified Pope John Paul I. calling his predecessor an example of joyful service and humble detachment from worldly temptations such as power and influence, the Crux website reports today (Septembere 11, 2022).
Speaking to the faithful gathered at St. Peter's Basilica for the beatification Mass, Francis said John Paul I lived "in the joy of the Gospel, without compromises, loving to the very end."
"He embodied the poverty of the disciple, which is not only detachment from material goods, but also victory over the temptations to put oneself at the center. to seek one's own glory."
