ENLARGE Pope Francis speaks during a weekly general audience at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican on June 1. Francis called Swedish-born Elizabeth Hesselblad and Stanislaus Papczynski “exemplary witnesses to this mystery of resurrection” during the canonization Mass in St. Peter’s Square. She later moved to Rome, where she became a nun and dedicated her life to her religious order. Her canonization comes ahead of Francis’ scheduled trip to Sweden later this year to mark the 500th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation.
