The Holy See
The Holy See PASTORAL VISIT OF HIS HOLINESS JOHN PAUL II TO VERCELLI AND TURIN (ITALY) (MAY 23-24, 1998) BEATIFICATION OF THE SERVANTS OF GOD: GIOVANNI MARIA BOCCARDO, TERESA GRILLO MICHEL, AND TERESA BRACCO HOMILY OF POPE JOHN PAUL II Solemnity of the Ascension, 24 May 1998 “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses” (Acts 1:8). 1. Jesus speaks these words before his Ascension into heaven. With them he outlines for his Church her future programme, her mission, and calls those who have been his witnesses to carry it out. First of all, the Apostles who had “seen” the events of the Passion: they had been overcome with fear when he was crucified, and later rejoiced at his Resurrection. In the paschal mystery, Christ thus expresses the whole truth of his divine sonship and his messianic mission. On the road to Emmaus, he explains to the two disciples that the Messiah had to bear all these things in order to enter into the Father’s glory (cf. Lk 24:26). Now, at the moment when he is leaving the world to return to heaven, he asks “his” followers to bear witness to these events in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria and to the ends of the earth. The teaching they must spread is not an abstract system of ideas, but the Word about a living reality. And it is precisely by virtue of this Word that the Church will spread throughout the world. This Word, taken beyond the borders of Palestine by the first witnesses, has given rise to countless throngs of other 2 witnesses in every corner of the globe, most of whose names we do not know; but the Church retains a vivid memory of others. -
Luigi Boccardo, Direttore Spirituale Al Convitto E Fondatore Delle Suore Cieche Di S
GIUSEPPE ALLAMANO INTESA CON SANTI SACERDOTI SUOI CONTEMPORANEI INTRODUZIONE L'Allamano ebbe contatti, a volte vera amicizia, con alcuni sacerdoti, quasi tutti più giovani di lui, dei quali oggi la Chiesa riconosce ufficialmente la santità con l'onore degli altari o la cui causa di beatificazione è già avanzata. Tutti dimostrarono una profonda stima per l'Allamano, riconoscendolo un vero uomo di Dio. Stessa profonda stima era ricambiata dall'Allamano per ognuno di essi. In queste pagine riporto i giudizi o i gesti di apprezzamento reciproci tra l'Allamano e i seguenti sacerdoti: Leonardo Murialdo, Fondatore della Pia Società di S. Giuseppe (Giuseppini). Giacomo Alberione, Fondatore delle Famiglie Paoline. Francesco Paleari, sacerdote del Cottolengo e Vicario Generale della diocesi di Torino. Michele Rua, salesiano, primo successore di S. Giovanni Bosco. Luigi Orione, fondatore delle Famiglie Orionine. Giovanni Maria Boccardo, fondatore delle Povere Figlie di S. Gaetano. Luigi Boccardo, Direttore Spirituale al Convitto e fondatore delle Suore cieche di S. Gaetano. Eugenio Reffo, superiore generale dei Giuseppini, secondo successore di S. Leonardo Murialdo. Oreste Fontanella, direttore spirituale nel seminario di Biella (Piemonte).1 Come metodo, dopo un breve profilo di ogni personaggio, cercherò di distinguere, nel limite del possibile, la trattazione su ognuno di essi in tre punti: 1) La reciproca collaborazione, per capire che tipo di rapporto reale esisteva tra i due. 2) Che cosa l'Allamano pensava del personaggio, quale stima aveva di lui, per conoscere che tipo di intesa c'era anche da parte sua. 3) Che cosa ogni personaggio pensava dell'Allamano, per scoprire in quale conto egli era tenuto da ognuno di questi famosi uomini di Dio. -

Beato Boccardo
Paolo Risso The Blessed John Mary Boccardo Original title of the work: “Il Beato Giovanni Maria Boccardo” San Paolo s.r.l. editions, 1998 Authorized translation Translation and prints: Maja printing works for the “ Poor Daughters of St. Cajetan” Turin - Italy Printed in June 2010 - 1000 copies INTRODUCTION Letter of a parish priest to the country blessed parish priest John Mary Boccardo. Pancalieri, land of industrious people with its mill and parish church, with the square where every day’s tale flows and from the countryside that surrounds it an exciting perfume of mint rises. Now, the perfume of Heaven rises and it’s you, dear country parish Priest, who in these hours we contemplate together with the Saints in Heaven. “How much effort in sowing...”. You have not used your theological learning to stand out with the words, the people could have said: how wise is our parish Priest! Not even those who flocked to have advice, and they were important peo - ple, led you away from looking in the eye, reading in the heart of your worshippers. You have been with them, because you have discovered in your parish priest’s life those who were not seeking you, but Him. “They are all seeking you” the apostles were telling Jesus. This you have done. You have led to Jesus all those who were seeking him, and also, but especially, those who weren’t thin - king about it. As He did you spent the nights praying. 3 You have told your Daughters, the poor Daughters of St. Cajetan: “give them food” and with your faith and their faith they have found a plate, a loaf. -

Aux Oblats, je ne dirais pas tant d’“évangéliser”, d’être “pleins de 26 zèle”, ils l’on toujours été; j’aimerais plutôt leur dire ce que saint Eugène disait: “Soyez religieux”, “Soyez réguliers” et “Travaillez Oblatio à devenir saints”… Le rôle des formateurs est d’assurer que le cha- risme oblat et les traditions de la Congrégations soient transmises aux nouvelles générations d’Oblats de Marie Immaculée.
