In his greeting to the present, the Pope reflected on the issue of female leadership in the ecclesial and social spheres, of which he said, Barelli can be considered a formidable forerunner. “Today we still need women who, guided by faith, are capable of making their mark in spiritual life, in education and in professional training.”The Pope also highlighted the impact of the Blessed Armida Barelli as an apostle. Referring in particular to her work with Catholic Action, he said her work shows us “how the Lord accomplishes great things when people make themselves available and docile to his will, committing themselves with humility, creativity and initiative.
Being apostles, he added, means “being laymen and laywomen who are passionate about the Gospel and life, taking care of the good life of all and building paths of fraternity to give soul to a more just, more inclusive, more united society.” He recalled the words of Pope St Paul VI who said: “If they remain faithful to their proper vocation, Secular Institutes will be like an experimental laboratory in which the Church verifies the concrete modalities of its relations with the world”.
