Pope grants the title of Blessed to Guido of Montpellier

With a Motu Proprio titled Fide incensus, Pope Francis on Saturday granted the title of Blessed to Guido of Montpellier, raising his liturgical cult to the altars for the orders, congregations, and communities inspired by the charism of Santo Spirito in Sassia. 

The French religious was the founder of the Hospitallers of the Holy Spirit and the Confraternity of the Holy Spirit for the care, in particular, of poor and sick children.

Extending our felicitations to the various communities, we confidently implore the intercession of the new Blessed so that the spirit of charity that illuminated his life may be poured out abundantly throughout the world.
