“The hagiographic sources and the records of Bishop Genaro’s martyrdom tell us how he, without any fear, put the good of his brothers before his own safety, going to visit a brother imprisoned because of his faith in Christ,” he continued.
The prelate then asked the martyr: “help us to walk along the paths of time and history, with our gaze fixed on the Lord whom you have loved and served, and may we always be with our feet ready to reach out to our brothers and sisters.” who are in physical, internal or social prisons.”
“May we be like you, who despite the danger and the persecution, for the love of God and the brothers, were not afraid to set out and risk their lives to spread the bread of the Word that restores the brothers imprisoned because of the Gospel and the violence from men,” he continued.
