「這是真正充滿恩寵和我們修會的重要時刻。這些即將封聖的聖人彰顯了信德之美,並成為真誠可信靠的基督宗徒生活芳表。我代表母佑會賈素娜修母和母佑會全體修女向教宗致意。我還匯報了已完成最近教區調查有關天主忠僕Luigi Bolla在厄瓜多爾和秘魯的舒瓦爾和阿丘亞印第安人中傳教。」參加了教宗良十四世主持的樞機會議的慈幼會宣福列品總申請人Pierluigi Cameroni神父評論道。
母佑會總會長賈素娜修母和總部議會修女在得知這一期盼已久的消息後,向全體母佑會修女致辭:「親愛的修女們,我滿懷喜悅地向你們伸手,與你們一起感謝上主在教會和母佑會歷史上所開展的偉大工程,我堅信,瑪利亞唐嘉蒂修女被封聖,是一種非凡的神恩,一次自我更新的召叫,讓我們以勇氣和喜悅繼續走在天主所要求的聖潔之路上。」
接著,談到瑪利亞唐嘉蒂修女的聖德,她指出:「用幾個詞來概括她的特質,無疑就是一位快樂而虔誠的母佑會修女,因此,她是一位慈母!在她身上,慈母的形象顯而易見,孕育著她周圍豐盛的生命,這些都源於她與主之間深厚的親密關係。」
為了了解慈幼家庭的下一位聖人,母佑會正在建立網站 www.mariatroncatti.org,該網站將包含瑪利亞唐嘉蒂修女的傳記、照片、文本、多媒體資源、新聞以及所有相關的深入研究和傳播材料。並將展示她畢生在原籍省份——倫巴第會省(ILO)和厄瓜多爾會省所推動的傳教服務。
Vatican – Sister Maria Troncatti, FMA, will be canonised on Sunday 19 October 2025
(ANS – Vatican City) – On Friday, 13 June 2025, at 9:00 a.m., in the Consistory Hall of the Vatican Apostolic Palace, the Holy Father Leo XIV presided over the celebration of the Third Hour and the Ordinary Public Consistory for the Canonisation of some Blesseds, whose causes were promoted under the pontificate of Pope Francis. On this occasion the Pontiff, in his first Ordinary Public Consistory, decreed that Maria Troncatti, a professed Sister of the Congregation of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, born in Córteno Golgi (Italy) on 16 February 1883 and died in Sucúa (Ecuador) on 25 August 1969, be enrolled in the Roll of Saints on Sunday 19 October 2025.
Together with Sister Troncatti, the dates of canonisation of eight other Blesseds were also announced:
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati and Blessed Carlo Acutis will be entered in the Roll of Saints on Sunday, 7 September 2025;
while Blessed Ignatius Choukrallah Maloyan, Blessed Peter To Rot, Blessed Vicenta Maria Poloni, Blessed Maria del Monte Carmelo Rendiles Martínez and Blessed José Gregorio Hernández Cisneros and Blessed Bartolo Longo will be enrolled in the Roll of Saints with Sister Maria Troncatti on Sunday 19 October 2025.
“It was a true moment of grace and of the Church. These upcoming saints manifest the beauty of faith and become a source of inspiration for an authentic and credible Christian life. In greeting the Pope, I expressed the thanks of Mother Chiara Cazzuola and the entire Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians. I also reported on the recent conclusion of the Diocesan Inquest of the Servant of God Luigi Bolla, missionary among the Shuar and Achuar Indios of Ecuador and Peru,” commented the Postulator General of the Causes of Saints, Fr Pierluigi Cameroni, who participated in the Consistory presided over by Pope Leo XIV.
The Superior General of the Institute of the FMA, Mother Chiara Cazzuola, with the sisters of the General Council, having learnt the long-awaited news, addressed all the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians with these words: “Dear sisters, I reach out to you with joy and with you I thank the Lord for the great things he is working in the Church and in the history of our Institute, with the direct intervention of Mary Help of Christians. I am convinced that the imminent canonisation of Sr Maria Troncatti is for all the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians an extraordinary grace, a call to renew ourselves in order to continue, with courage and joy, on the path of holiness that God is asking us to travel today”.
Then speaking of Sr Troncatti’s holiness, she notes ‘The definition that sums it all up in a few words is surely that of a happy and faithful Daughter of Mary Help of Christians and, therefore, Mother! In her, the maternal dimension that generates an abundance of life around her and finds its source in a profound intimacy with the Lord clearly emerges.’
To get to know the figure of the next new figure of holiness recognised in the Salesian Family, the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians are setting up the www.mariatroncatti.org website with the biography, photos, texts, multimedia resources, news and all the material for in-depth study and dissemination relating to Sr Maria Troncatti, as well as the initiatives and events promoted by the sister’s province of origin, the Lombardy Province (ILO), and the Province of Ecuador, where she gave her life as a missionary.
