  • IMC Newsletter N°32
    The General Council – Rome IMC Newsletter N°32 Rome, December 08, 2015 Feast of the Immaculate Conception, beginning of the Extraordinary Holy Year of Mercy! INTRODUCTION Dear brothers, our vocation of people consecrated for the mission is very beautiful but also very challenging; it drives us on new and unknown paths and processes. But throughout this process the most important aspect is the love of life of which our vocation should be a sign and a witness, a life lived with others, especially the poorest and neediest. «The multitude of those who believed was of one heart and soul, and no one considered his property all that he owned, but they had everything in common. With great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and all enjoyed great favour. None of their members was ever in want, as all those who owned land or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the apostles’ feet; then it was distributed to each according to his need» (Acts 4,32-35). Pope Francesco during his visit to South Korea spoke of consolation. Let us meditate on his word: «There is a word that attracts me a lot: consolation. Consolation: the presence of God in any of his modalities. Our Holy Father Ignatius always tries to confirm the decision of the reform of life or of the election of the status of life through the second way of “election”: the consolation. Consolation is a beautiful word for those who receive it.

  • Novena to Blessed Joseph Allamano
    NOVENA TO BLESSED JOSEPH ALLAMANO A Family man, founding a Missionary Family to make the world One Family in God Day 1 - Allamano and his father, Joseph Allamano Blessed Allamano was born at Castelnuovo D’Asti – today Castelnuovo Don Bosco- from Joseph Allamano and Marianna Cafasso. He was the fourth of five children. There is no much information about the father, but we know that he had a brother who was a priest (Fr. John Allamano) and he died due to carbuncle on 2nd December 1853, when blessed Allamano was not yet three years old. A niece would say that he was a good Christian and he died due to an infection. Both parents were living in the rural area; they were excellent Christians and very charitable. The father was a very faithful and pious companion of his wife. He seemed to have been illiterate. PRAYER: Blessed Joseph Allamano, you knew what it means to have charitable parents and how they influenced your open heart to the needs of the world. You also knew the pain of not having your father from your early age. Intercede for us and especially for those who have lost their fathers and still suffer the pain of it. May they move ahead in their lives with the support of the rest of the family members. Intercede for us to value our fathers for what they are and not for the intellectual knowledge they have or for any position they may occupy in the society. May all fathers take care of their families aware that they are called to be the image of God the Father and of Christ himself.
