Card. Eduardo Pironio

Cardinal Eduardo Francisco Pironio, President of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, 1993.

"He modeled his priesthood in the configuration with Christ crucified and in loving contemplation of Our Lady of Sorrows.

And he left the priests of today a threefold message: be men of God and teachers of prayer, live in the world configured with Christ on the cross, and be missionaries and evangelizers of cultures from the perspective of the poor and contemplative heart of Mary."
