We are getting closer to that historic moment when, on September 6, Mária Magdolna Bódi, the martyr of purity, will be beatified.
Today we lovingly turn our attention to those venerable Hungarian witnesses of faith who – like Magdi – are also awaiting beatification:
Cardinal József Mindszenty, Prince Primate
Sr. Margit Mária Bogner, Visitandine nun
Fr. Didák Sámuel Kelemen, Franciscan friar
Bishop János Hám
István Kaszap, Jesuit novice
Bernát Károlyi and his 6 companions, Benedictine martyrs of Pannonhalma
János Esterházy, politician, martyr
Sr. Margit Mária Mester
Fr. Boldizsár Marton
Fr. József Vándor SDB, Salesian friar
Sándor Bálint, ethnographer
Bishop Áron Márton
Princess Zita of Bourbon-Parma
They are all witnesses of faith, purity, courage, and self-sacrificing love – role models for us today.
Let us prepare together in spirit for the beatification of Mária Magdolna Bódi, in which we celebrate God’s special gift!
