Recalling the Irish missionary monk of St. Columban and his immense legacy, Pope Francis offers encouragement to all assembled in Piacenza, Italy, for 'Columban’s Day 2024,' marking the twenty-fifth International Meeting of Columban Associations.The legacy of Irish abbot, St. Columban, has enriched the Church and civil society.
Born in 543 in Ireland's Leinster region, St. Columban was a missionary to Europe during the Middle Ages, an intrepid monk, and a scholar.In the Holy Father's message, the Pope called the occasion a reason"to rejoice." "Your commemoration," Pope Francis applauded, is"not merely historical," but rather"aims to advance knowledge of Saint Columban and his legacy as a source of enrichment for both the Church and civil society in our own time."
"The life and labours of the Columban monks," he stressed,"proved decisive for the preservation and renewal of European culture.""In our own time," Pope Francis went on to appeal,"we need to draw nourishment from the vital “lymph” of the Gospel, and"discover ways to express their faith and culture with creative fidelity to their rich traditions."
