Benedict XVI once more talked about the Consistory and the \u201cspiritual richness of collegiality\u201d in \u201cbeing among brothers of different origin, all sharing a common love for Christ and for his Church\u201d. But he dwelt especially on a \u201cprovidential coincidence\u201d: 24 March, the day he conferred the red hat on 15 bishops and archbishops, was the day of prayer and fasting for missionary martyrs, \u201cwho in the past year fell on the frontline of evangelization and in the service of mankind in different parts of the world\u201d. He said: \u201cThe Consistory was an opportunity to feel closer than ever to all those Christians who suffer persecution because of their faith. Their witness, which we are informed of daily, and above all the sacrifice of those who were killed, are edifying for us and urge us to an ever more sincere and generous Gospel commitment.\u201d The pope also recalled that the red colour of the Cardinal\u2019s vestments, \u201cthe colour of blood\u201d, indicated the \u201cfidelity\u201d and readiness of cardinals to spread the Gospel \u201cto the point of sacrificing one\u2019s life\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
