Speaks preacher, François-Marie Discalced Carmelite Léthel

VATICAN CITY, Wednesday, March 16, 2011 (ZENIT.org ) .- From Monday to Saturday, Benedict XVI is living with his collaborators in the Roman Curia days dedicated to prayer, together with saints.

The preacher of the Spiritual Exercises, the Discalced Carmelite Léthel François-Marie, prelate secretary of the Pontifical Academy of Theology, specifically chosen as the theme for his thoughts: "The light of Christ in the heart of Church: John Paul II and the theology of the saints. "

"After the pope asked me preach these spiritual exercises, I picked up in prayer and I was clear guidance should be given to the meditations, spiritual preparation for the beatification of John Paul II, to be held on May 1, Sunday Octave of Easter, the feast of Divine Mercy, beginning the month of Mary and the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, "reveals the preacher.

"I am convinced that this is an event of immense scope for the Church and the world, which requires a deep spiritual preparation by all the people of God, and in exemplary fashion by the Santo father and his closest associates, "said in an interview to the Italian edition of L'Osservatore Romano" on March 17.

"The beatification of John Paul II is at the pinnacle of his extraordinary pontificate precisely under the sign of holiness. Discussing the topic, I chose an icon of the communion of saints: a picture of the Blessed Fra Angelico, representing saints and angels in heaven, come together and form a sort of circle. The saints are given and we shake hands to guide us along the path of holiness. "

"This is the meaning of conversion Lenten pledge also increasingly entering us in this' circle of the saints. " The ring, led by the pope Karol Wojtyla, who shakes hands with the two saints who are closest to him: St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort, who inspired his 'Totus Tuus', and St. Therese of Lisieux, the only holy proclaimed Doctor of the Church during his pontificate. "

By collecting the spiritual legacy of John Paul II, Father Léthel believes that "is totally focused on his great Christocentric and Marian spirituality."

"The basic statement focuses on the first words of Redemptor hominis: " The Redeemer of man, Jesus Christ is the center of the cosmos and of history ", and the great motif of GS : "Christ has united himself with each man."
