Embodied sanctity through charity toward those who suffer

Archbishop Emeritus Anuar Battisti of Maringá addressed the Solemnity of All Saints by describing sanctity as a practice of charity toward those who suffer.

In a message published by the CNBB, Battisti stated that sanctity in the Church is not an isolated state or a refuge removed from the pains of the world. He characterized the concept of embodied sanctity as an active engagement with human suffering rather than an indifferent contemplation of heaven.
