(VIDEO ONLY) These were the words of Sister Maria Gloria Riva, a nun from the Monastic Community of the Perpetual Adorers of the Blessed Sacrament.
Before his death, Pope Francis had wished for the Jubilee of the Holy See to open with the preaching of this woman, who addressed the Pope and the Curia.
During her speech, she spoke of hope as the guiding thread of the world. In fact, she even shared her personal experience as an example:
“Eternity lies before humility, and I say this with conviction, because when I was 20 years old—when my faith was still very weak and clouded by many illusions of modern man—I had a near-death experience. I saw the crack of eternity open before me, and that changes your life, it changes your perspective.”
