Then, the Pope highlighted the qualities of the canonised saints: about bishop Rafael Guízar Valencia, he mentioned "his lively love", to the point that he was called the "bishop of the poor". Then he said, may his example act as "a reminder" to regard as fundamental "as well as the spirit of poverty and evangelisation", "the care for the vocations of priests and nuns, and their education according to the heart of Christ". From the example of Filippo Smaldone, "a big-hearted priest" "let’s take the invitation stated the Holy Father to consider the love of the Eucharist and the love for one’s neighbour always inseparable from each other". Of Rosa Venerini, the Pope recalled "the long-sighted work she used to carry out bravely, for the spiritual elevation and the veritable involvement of the young women of her time". "A model of Christian life", attentive to the poor and to children: this was Théodore Guérin, who "was always ready to take part in the missions that the Church asked of her", confiding in the divine Providence. "May their testimony concluded the Pope with reference to the new saints enlighten and encourage especially the young, so that they will let themselves be conquered by Christ, by His loving glance".
