Pedro is a child, a normal person who has been martyred to defend the family and marriage

Renato Martinez – Vatican City

This is March 31, the Press Office of the Holy See announced this Pope Francis authorized Dicasterio for the causes of the saints to issue decrees It relates to 3 new saints, 1 Mubarak and 1 Muqar. Among them is the Pedro -Pedro man, from Rukonay – Rapol, in Papua New Guinea.

To learn more about the life of this Christian education that lived in the last century and was counted for its continuation in its Messenger, despite the ban imposed by the Japanese during the Second World War, in the Vatican news, we are conducting a dialogue after its issue of marriage and the family. “

How did you receive this news in the group of missionaries from the holy heart? What is the meaning of this announcement?

In our gathering, we received the news with tremendous joy, because we take the case for many years. For us, she is a blessed personality, she is a very inspiring figure for the entire group, for all of us, which is the result, and this makes the thing more private for us, because the result, fruit, for the first task of the group, when we get there, to Papua New Guinea, in 1882. So, it is a reason for a lot of joy.

On March 18, 2024, the bishops of Papua New Guinea and Suleiman Islands were requested to distribute the miracle on the road to Peter’s sanctity for rot. In fact, in the decree published on March 31, there is no talk about a miracle attributed to the ordinary Papuanu, but about “favorable voices” of the members of Deca’s supplies for the causes of the saints. What kind of treasure does it speak in this case?

In fact, the process differs slightly from what we are used to. In general, we know that for the cause of the ecclesiastical, we must have a recognized miracle, in other words, that doctors, doctors and health professionals can confirm that this healing, this recovery, has no scientific explanation. The case is that the situation in Papua New Guinea forced us to take another cycle, specifically due to the difficulty of finding healthy professionals that can help us, there are a few hospitals there. In some of them, we find difficulties with doctors, with doctors, because they are of another religion and do not accept to see a case like this.

In addition, although there are many stories about miracles, thanks to the blessed Pedro intercession to rot, many of them do not know how to write. Therefore, because they do not speak simply, it is a prominent oral imitation. After that, when putting all these cases, the bishops are asked from there from the Holy Father to dispense with the need to verify the miracle, but there is fame of holiness, the fame of martyrdom, and the fame of signals, but, given these situations we ask the Holy Father to do this process in a distinctive way.

From 6 to 9 September, 2024, Pope Francis visited PNG, in one of the longest apostolic trips in Pontificate. In his confrontation with the Church of Babwana, they asked him to interfere in the process of sanctifying this Christian and martyr Katist. How much was the Joast of the Holy Father affected to this country in this process?

I think the Church in Babua is a very alive church, although there are some difficulties that are still very missionary. It is true that there are many challenges there, but visiting the Pope was really mood, and it is a motive for the entire church of the island. Looking at the truth of Babua, then in Timur, which are completely similar facts, the Pope was convinced of the authority to seek the bishops. In addition, I believe that the Pope also looks at the faith of the people, and the faith that Pedro has blessed to rot, which helped him persuade it is good.

What is the relationship between this secular writer with missionaries from the holy heart? What is the legacy that this martyr leaves for Christians today?

I think he understands a little blessed relationship with our group, we have to return a little in history. These islands, what we call Milan, asked us the Pope in 1882 to be as missionaries there and it was a moment to collect us. The group was founded in 1854 and we had a few members, but the founder decided to send missionaries there. How we were few at that time we had to get a very valuable help from the secular there. After that, Pedro to cross became the world of education, began to study, and he did a complete process and was like the right hand of the priests who were there. A lot of preaching Papua New Guinea is due to the secular. When I invaded the Japanese in 1945, I invaded the island and looked at the activity of the priests – I talk a little about the joke, but also – Pedro became the sponsor of a villa and continued with baptism, and continued to prepare people. When the Japanese began at the time an attempt to re -provide polygamy, he was strongly opposed and that was one of the reasons for his death.

Therefore, I would like to say that there are three things we have as a heritage of Pedro to rot. The first thing was his martyrdom. When he was 33 years old, he was very young. I think his way of life, his martyrdom is also an invitation to all young people to devote himself to the Gospel, and devotes himself to preaching, on his way according to his way of life. It was secular, and this is the second thing, the family’s father. Being secular, he knew how to practice importance in his profession, and Pope Francis today tells us a lot about a less written church. Finally, his martyrdom was due to the defense of marriage. Therefore, I think it is at this time when a very attacked marriage is exposed, this is part of his legacy, defending family values ​​and marriage.
