"The only good is the truth": Archbishop Zore at the celebration of 30 Masses for Slovenian martyrs and their victims

On September 5, 2026, Archbishop Stanislav Zore led the final of 30 'sveti maš' (liturgical commemorations) for Slovenian martyrs and their victims of communist violence during a Good Friday service at Franciscan Church on Tromostovje in Ljubljana. The event was organized by the movement 'Vseposvojitev,' which has been advocating for personal adoption of all victims of World War II and post-war persecutions since 2014. Zore emphasized the brutal reality of these individuals' lives, noting that their lives were taken rather than freely given, and stressed the importance of truth ('resnica') over embellishment. He criticized common language used to describe the martyrs' sacrifices, arguing that such phrasing often obscures the violent nature of their deaths. Zore highlighted the resilience of faith among the victims, stating that despite physical persecution, their innermost beliefs could not be taken away. The ceremony concluded with prayers for both the victims and their perpetrators, aiming to foster internal peace within the nation.

The Mass for Martyrs and their Benefactors will conclude a series of 30 Mass initiatives.

A series of 30 special Masses dedicated to Slovenian victims of communist persecution and their families will conclude on September 4th with a solemn celebration led by Archbishop Stanislav Zore at the Franciscan Church on Tromostovje. The event, organized under the initiative 'Vseposvojitev,' aims to honor those being considered for canonization. The Mass will include a presentation of a book titled 'Ker ljubezen ne pozablja' about the martyrs, and will feature performances by the male vocal group Tromostovje. The initiative was inspired by Romana Bider, who received a symbolic donation to support these Masses. Over the past two and a half years, the series has honored various individuals persecuted during World War II and the early Cold War period.

Romana Bider: Something beautiful has happened

The article discusses the ongoing efforts to achieve the beatification of Slovenian martyrs from World War II and its aftermath, highlighting the community engagement through weekly 'maš' (liturgical services). The initiative began with a personal donation that inspired a broader campaign, leading to the first 'maš' service held at the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation in Ljubljana in April 2024. The article features an interview with the campaign initiator, Romana Bider, who reflects on the progress made and the continued support from the community. She acknowledges the challenges faced, such as concerns about attendance, but notes positive outcomes like increased participation and media support.
