St. Dominic Savio Blessed Mario Vergaro #299 What is meant by a “virtue”? A virtue is an interior disposition, a positive habit, a passion that has been placed at the service of the good. With his grace God supports the human virtues and gives us, above and beyond that, the so-called supernatural virtues, which help us to come closer to God and live more securely in his light. St. Dominic savio Dominic Savio was born on April 2, 1842, the son of a very poor blacksmith, and was one of ten children. When Don Bosco was looking for young men to train as priests for the Salesian Order, his parish priest suggested Dominic.. He was a high- spirited boy who sometimes got into trouble with his teachers because he would often be laughing. He was known for helping his friends see Christ in others. He died at the age of 15 fro tuberculosis. His last words to his father were, "I am seeing most wonderful things!" Blessed mario vergaro Fr Mario Vergara was born in Italy in 1910. In 1929, after studying at the Jesuit minor seminary he then went onto join a missionary seminary. In 1934 he was ordained priest and joined the mission in Burma. He worked in a rural town struck with famine yet started many programs to help teach the people many skills, as well as catechesis and brought them the sacraments. During WWII as Catholics were being oppressed, he did not give up and continued his mission work. He was martyred on May 25, 1950. He was beatified on May 24, 2014. Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them in reply, “What are you thinking in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home.” –Luke 5: 12-26 .

Cav. Mattia Cirillo - Corso Durante, 164 - Tel./Fax 081-835.11.05 - Frattamaggiore (NA) 2 PREFAZIONE Questo nuovo libro che il Preside Sosio Capasso, eminente studioso ed instancabile storiografo, dedica a Giulio Genoino, uno dei più illustri figli di Frattamaggiore, continua sulla stessa linea di metodo la lunga serie delle pregevoli opere con le quali Egli, figlio altrettanto illustre dell’antica e nobile città, ha risvegliato il culto delle memorie storiche nel corso di una lunga vita di studi. Finalità precipue di tutti i suoi scritti sono state sempre quelle di rimuovere la polvere del tempo e preservare dall’oblio dei posteri eventi e personaggi della sua terra. In altri termini riascoltare quella che Friedrich Nieztsche, il filosofo romantico per carattere e poeta per vocazione, definiva tout court “la parola del passato che è sempre simile alla sentenza dell’oracolo”. E Simocatta Teofilatto, scrittore bizantino del VII secolo, con maggiore incisività lessicale, aveva affermato lo stesso concetto testualmente: ‘Se nel tuo cuore non canta il poema delle antiche memorie, tu non sei un uomo e non puoi vantarti di essere membro di una nobile città”. Di Giulio Genoino il Capasso delinea un profilo ampio e puntuale. Si sofferma sull’uomo, sulla famiglia, sulla Patria, tracciando della sua arte, che spazia su molteplici aspetti, un’accurata rassegna e inquadrando nel suo tempo quest’uomo straordinario su cui la critica coeva e successiva si è espressa con unanime considerazione e incondizionato apprezzamento.
