Pope Francis released a letter on Wednesday, 5 July, in which he announced the establishment of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints'"Commission of the New Martyrs - Witnesses of the Faith", in view of the Jubilee of 2025.
"Martyrs in the Church," wrote the Pope,"are witnesses of the hope that comes from faith in Christ and incites to true charity. Hope keeps alive the profound conviction that good is stronger than evil, because God in Christ has conquered sin and death." "Martyrs," the Pope continued,"have accompanied the life of the Church in every age and flourish as 'ripe and excellent fruits of the vineyard of the Lord' even today... Martyrs are more numerous in our time than in the first centuries: they are bishops, priests, consecrated men and women, lay people and families, who in the different countries of the world, with the gift of their lives, have offered the supreme proof of charity.
"It is therefore a matter of continuing", explained the Pope,"the historical reconnaissance to gather the testimonies of life, up to the shedding of blood, of these sisters and brothers of ours, so that their memory may stand out as a treasure that the Christian community safeguards. The research will concern not only the Catholic Church, but will extend to all Christian denominations.
