Here are the words from the Holy Father (Pope Benedict XVI) when the statue of Saint Annibale Maria di Francia (Luisa's Confessor & Spiritual Director for years) was
erected on St. Peter’s basilica in Rome:

“A monument to the apostle of prayer for priestly vocations and apostle of the Kingdom of the Divine Will, has been
placed in the center of Catholicism: the Saint Peter Basilica at the Vatican. … The monument is truly a great gift and a
tribute of the Church to the charismatic figure of Saint Annibale, known throughout the world as a worthy apostle of
prayer for vocations as well as great apostle of the Kingdom of the Divine Will. Six years after his canonization, his
impressive image is located in the heart of Christianity. Father Annibale has always nurtured and expressed feelings
of deep love and obedience to the Vicar of Christ, which he has passed on to his spiritual children as a sign of
unconditional loyalty. He constantly pointed at the “Rogate”, as the infallible and vital remedy for the life of the Church.
… Let us pray on this special occasion to San Annibale Maria Di Francia that he:
Who reviewed and gave Nihil Obstat to the Writings of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, inspires and guides those
who now read her writings.
Who published and disseminated “The Hours of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ” and all her other writings helps
in this sacred task all those whom God inspires the timely publication of them.
Who overflowed with the divine light of the doctrine of the Divine Will intercedes for us so that we, by
constantly dying to our will, can continually live in the Divine Will.
We entrust ourselves to St. Annibale Maria Di Francia to obtain for us the spiritual graces needed to know,
understand and fully live in the Kingdom of the Divine Will."
