Auxiliary Bishops from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles prayed recently at Luisa Piccarreta's tomb.

The following is a short message left by His Most Rev. Excellency Bishop Slawomir Szkredka, a Polish-born priest who has been auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in California since 2023.

I was asked why I love the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta. How could I not love someone who embodies such profound love for Jesus, God’s will, and the Church? Luisa’s virtuous life—marked by her deep charity, humility, and obedience—and her teachings on the communion between the human and divine will are truly a great gift. She inspires me to echo Mary’s words: fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum—"Let it be done to me according to Your word."
