“On the one hand, a bold saint, committed to her time, who went all out for what she wanted, which was fundamentally to carry out the spiritual exercises of Saint Ignatius, for her great love for Jesus,” he described.
“Secondly, a saint who lived the idea of community, because she knew that the Gospel was for everyone. That is why it is reported that the viceroy’s family, people from the Buenos Aires aristocracy, but also common people, simple people, participated in her spiritual exercises, because she brought everyone together as brothers in those spiritual exercises,” she recalled.
Thirdly, he highlighted that “she was a happy saint; a happy lay woman. They say that among her special devotions was the devotion to San Felipe Neri, precisely the saint of joy.
“On the one hand, we thank God for this new saint, and on the other hand we thank her for her testimony of life, and at the same time we ask Mama Antula to give us the audacity and apostolic creativity that She had to give us the idea of fraternity and living in community, with everyone, because we are brothers beyond our differences; and may she give us—because we need her very much—joy,” she concluded.
