"From the beginning, the Emperor Charles conceived of his office as a holy service to his people. His chief concern was to follow the Christian vocation to holiness also in his political actions ... May he be an example for all of us” - Pope John Paul II pic.twitter.com/JhHr3CA1Uq

How important is his wife? Well, Pope John Paul II obviously thought so because he gave Karl the feast day not of his death, 1st of April, but of his wedding, 21st of October... hoping to one day canonize the couple (Zitas process has begun) pic.twitter.com/WOFqvX3JZs

Edit.
Today more than ever it is clear that we need holy men and women like Blessed Karl of Austria, whose feast falls today, and who witnessed through joy and suffering to the sanctity and beauty of the family and the institution of marriage. Karl von Österreich, bitte für uns! pic.twitter.com/jR79Ib8S5t
