Portiuncola Indulgence
“Here at the Porziuncola everything speaks to us of pardon! What a great gift the Lord has given us in teaching us to forgive – or at least to try to forgive – and in this way to touch the Father’s mercy!
Pope Francis, Visit to the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels on the occasion of the eight Century of the “Pardon of Assisi,” August 4, 2016
… God’s forgiveness knows no limits; it is greater than anything we can imagine and it come to all who know in their hearts that they have done wrong and desire to return to him. God looks at the heart that seeks forgiveness.”
May God’s merciful love renew our lives and make us humble signs of forgiveness and mercy.
Happy feast of the Porziuncola Indulgence!
Sr. Samuela Maria Rigon,
General Superior
