"Slova papežů" - Narození P. Marie

Pope Leo spoke about the importance of meditating on the mystery of the Virgin Mary's life during a Mass in Genazzano on the eve of her birthday.

During the service, the pope cited St. Thomas of Villanova, a 16th-century Augustinian saint. The celebration highlighted how the Protoevangelium of James has long inspired the devotion of believers, religious preaching, and art.
