Pope Francis: Bl. Engelmar Unzeitig CMM a model of
charity
(Vatican Radio) Pope
Francis prayed the Angelus with the faithful
gathered in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, following a Mass to mark the Jubilee
of Catechists celebrated as part of the Extraordinary
Jubilee Year of Mercy.
In remarks to the faithful
ahead of the mid-day prayer of Marian devotion, the Holy Father recalled the
beatification – which took place in the German city of Würzburg on Saturday –
of the Servant of God, Fr. Engelmar
Unzeitig CMM, a Czech-born priest who ministered in Austria and
was martyred in the Nazi concentration camp at Dachau.
“[Saturday], in Würzburg,”
said Pope Francis, “Engelmar Unzeitig, priest of the Congregation of the
Missionaries of Mariannhill, was proclaimed Blessed.”
The Holy Father went on to
say, “Killed in hatred of the faith in the extermination camp of Dachau, he
opposed hatred with love, and answered ferocity answered with meekness: may his
example help us to be witnesses of charity and hope even in the midst of
trials.”
