Archbishop Giorgio Ferretti presides over Mass in Foggia Cathedral

Archbishop Giorgio Ferretti presided over the Mass for the Solemnity of All Saints at Foggia Cathedral. During the liturgy, the Archbishop of Foggia-Bovino and Bishop of Lucera-Troia spoke about the Beatitudes, describing the Gospel passage as a difficult teaching that challenges worldly logic.

Ferretti noted that the mountain setting of the discourse signifies a place for encountering God and receiving instruction. He observed that Christ's teaching on the mountain represents a new covenant between God and his people.

Relics of saints kept in the basilica were displayed on the high altar for the occasion. These included the remains of Saints Guglielmo and Pellegrino, San Donato, San Giacomo apostolo, and Santa Vittorina.
