English excerpts:
Benedict XVI salutes the beatification of Fr Brisson, which took place in France yesterday, Saturday, September 22, 2012, at Troyes. In his example, he calls for “hunger for God and constantly have recourse to him”
“I unite myself with joy and thanksgiving community of Troyes and all spiritual daughters and son of the new Blessed,” Benedict said.
P. Brisson always said “I need God is a hunger that devours me,” he said.
“Like him, the Pope concluded, learn to hunger for God and constantly have recourse to him with confidence. ‘
The celebration of beatification was presided by Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, “a first feature [of the blessed]” is its proximity to St. Francis de Sales. A second characteristic is its apostolic dynamism, “he told Vatican Radio that occasion.
For Cardinal, P. Brisson showed “strength and perseverance in good,” including the “year of sorrow” during the religious persecution of the late 19th century.
