Matteo Ricci's love for the Chinese people remains an enduring source of inspiration.
The Pope praised Ricci's excellence in various areas, but stressed his greatness, above all, lies in his being"consistent with his vocation, consistent with that desire to follow Jesus Christ."Last week, Pope Francis praised St. Andrew Kim Taegon, the first native priest of Korea and a martyr for the faith, who dreamed of reaching China, but was not able to fulfill that dream. This week, instead, he spoke of Ricci who did.
Thanks to his writings in Chinese and his knowledge of mathematics and astronomy, the Jesuit Pope observed, Matteo Ricci became known and respected"as a sage and scholar." His vast learning and ability to engage in sincere and respectful dialogue, the Holy Father explained, were employed in the service of the Gospel. Ricci, he noted, made the Gospel known not only in his writings, but by his example of religious life, prayer and virtue.
