1Pt 1, 15</p>

<p class="title_brown">Main door of the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity</p>

<p class="normal_text">The Spirit hovered over the water at the beginning of creation as suggested in the figures in that door. That is the same Spirit that we receive through Baptism and which sanctifies us today as It sanctified Francisco and Jacinta one hundred years ago, the Spirit that lives in the heart of those who become pilgrims towards the heavenly homeland. Godliness becomes a beautiful and possible path which will turn me into a true gift for humankind. I have in my thoughts all men and women that need my surrender and my prayer today and I pray so that the grace of Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit are with them all (2Cor 13, 13), offering like the little shepherds:</p>

<p class="quote">&laquo;Oh my Jesus, this is for love of You, for the conversion of the sinners, for the Holy Father and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary&raquo;.</p>

<p class="normal_text">I become aware of this great hope that opens a horizon of endless sense to life and which justifies all the weariness of the way.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="quote">&laquo;Like an anchor, let us fix our hope in that humanity seated in heaven at the right hand of the Father (Eph 2, 6). May this hope guide our lives! It is a hope that sustains us always, to our dying breath. Confirmed in this hope, we are gathered here to give thanks for the countless graces bestowed over these past hundred years, beneath the mantle of Light that Our Lady has spread over the four corners of the earth, beginning with this land of Portugal, so rich in hope&raquo;.&nbsp;<br />
(Pope Francis&rsquo; Homily in the mass with canonization rite of Francisco and Jacinta Marto, on 13th May 2017)</p>
