To the eyes of the world you may appear to be alone and useless. But you are not alone! Within you is the living presence of God who dwells in those who observe His Word. Do God’s Will children! Accepting your role is following God’s Will. Jesus is with you. Learn to listen to His voice when in silence. Learn to speak with Him. You are not useless! Through your pain, offered supernaturally, you can help many lost souls to find the right path. You can illumine those in doubt. You can give serenity to those in anguish. ( His Holiness, Pope Pius XII) 1957-1967: Touched by Pain— Yet Giving Love. Apostolate of the Suffering! Your name tells all. It shows the positive aspect of Christian pain. We encourage you to persevere with patience and commitment and to make your painful hearts physically and morally the silent sanctuaries of goodness. You can do what the powerful cannot. Don’t reject your precious gift of prayer and sacrifice. (His holiness, Pope Paul VI) 1977-1987: The vocation to love even more. I am particularly happy about this meeting at the 40th anniversary of the foundation of the Apostolate of the Suffering. We can remember May 17, 1947 when Msgr. Novarese began thinking about the Marian messages at Lourdes and Fatima and began the Apostolate. For all of you, suffering is a vocation to love even more and a mys- terious calling to participate in the infinite love of God for humanity. (His Holiness, John Paul II) 1987-1997 Active participation in Salvation You come from a Marian tradition. You have a precious role in the Christian community and work for the evangelization in an area such as suffering which is not easy and full of questions. Your role can be seen in the Apostolic paper “Christifideles Laici” (The Faithful Laity in the Church): “The suffering should not be considered per- sons to aid, but active individuals responsible for the evangelization and salvation of the world.” I am grateful to you because you have brought this message throughout the world not only through words, but also through your being silent role models. (His Holiness, Pope John Paul II) 1997-2007 Looking toward the horizon. We must follow our Founder’s lead-that which the Blessed Virgin asked at Lourdes and Fatima: to become a treasure for all men of good will. (Father Giovan Giuseppe Torre) “I HOPE THAT YOU CAN BE MODELS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD SHOWING THAT CHRISTIAN FAITH IS A RESPONSE TO THE EXPECTATIONS OF MAN AND SOCIETY.” (His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI) Winter 2006-07 Page 3 Brother Robert J. Letasz SOLEMN PROFESSION IN THE SILENT WORKERS OF THE CROSS Robert (Bob) Letasz, President of the local Apostolate of the Suffering Association made his solemn profession, as a Brother of the Silent Workers of the Cross, December 8, 2007 at St. Mary Church in Ware MA. in the presence of Fr. Jeffrey Ballou, pastor, and Fr. John L. Sullivan Chaplain of the Apostolate. Following the tradition of the Community, the vows were pronounced during the celebration of the Mass of the Immaculate Conception. Brother Letasz was surrounded by his family, and by a large number of members of the Apostolate of the Suffering as well as local parishioners. A special meal was served afterwards in the church hall . Br.

In a spirit of gratitude , we lift up Brother Letasz in prayer: “May the Holy Spirit continue to bless him with good health, and use him as an effective instrument as a Silent Worker of the Cross Brother Letasz, Director of the Apostolate, in the Apostolate of the Suffering, Amen.” Lois Smus ass. Director and Richard Smus, Mary Farm dir. To our cost, we sometimes think that obedience to God’s will is an iron cage. On the contrary, God wills that everyone be saved, set free, made whole, brought to the joy of the kingdom. Mary pondered and did the will of God not reluctantly, out of a sense of martyred duty, but with her whole heart in delight. Magnificat June 2006 Page 4 The ANCHOR THE ILL LEADING THE ILL This famous slogan in the Volunteers of Suffering Center has been fundamen- tal in the lives of many who have lived this ideal of Msgr. Luigi Novarese, giving meaning to their pain. This slogan came from his own personal experience as a sick person. Our founding father found a way to defeat that feeling of uselessness through his search for God. In 1979 he wrote: “ Materialism and sensuousness obscure the traditional values of man’s life.

In 1947, Msgr. Novarese, along with Sister Elvira Myriam Psorulla, born in Haifa, and whom he had met providentially, founded the Apostolate of the Suffering. The elder Sister, to this day, continues to make her home above the church where is entombed our Founding Father the Servant of God, Msgr. Luigi Novarese. The 60 th Anniversary celebrations recently opened with the partici- pation of nine hundred International Members of the Apostolate of the Suffering on the 23 rd of May in Rome, with recognition by the Holy Father and a Mass in St Peter’s Basilica. Brother Bob Letasz, our American Director, was fortunate enough to be there at the time, as he was attending a Council Meeting of the International Msgr. Luigi Novarese Confederation.

  • Pope Advances Sainthood Causes of Marianne Cope, Kateri Tekakwitha
    Pope advances sainthood causes of Marianne Cope, Kateri Tekakwitha VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI advanced the sainthood causes of Blessed Marianne Cope of Molokai and Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha. He also formally recognized the martyrdom of 64 victims of the Spanish Civil War and advanced the causes of 18 other men and women. During a meeting Dec. 19 with Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes, the pope signed the decrees recognizing the miracles needed for the canonizations of Blesseds Marianne and Kateri. Before a date is set for the canonization ceremonies, there must be an “ordinary public consistory,” a formal ceremony opened and closed with prayer, during which cardinals present in Rome express their support for the pope’s decision to create new saints. Blessed Marianne, who worked as a teacher and hospital administrator in New York, spent the last 30 years of her life ministering on the Hawaiian island of Molokai to those with leprosy. She died on the island in 1918 at age 80 and was beatified in St. Peter’s Basilica in 2005. Blessed Kateri, known as the Lily of the Mohawks, was born to a Christian Algonquin mother and a Mohawk father in 1656 in upstate New York along the Hudson River. She was baptized by a Jesuit missionary in 1676 when she was 20, and she died in Canada four years later. In June 1980, she became the first Native American to be beatified. Pope Benedict also recognized miracles attributed to the intercession of five other people, who now can be declared saints.

    1 MARTINO CARBOTTI LA MIA FEDE nei Santi di ogni giorno Pugliesi Editore 2 Introduzione Non è assolutamente semplice per me, figlio, delineare la figura di mio padre: Ninuccio Carbotti. Non vi nascondo di averci pensato per molto tempo, dubbioso, circa i tanti aspetti su cui avrei dovuto soffermarmi e una delle domande che mi sono subito posto è stata: ma oltre alla figura di padre modello che io conoscevo, cos'altro conosco della vita di mio padre? E qui ho avuto delle perplessità ..... sì dico perplessità perché tutti i padri presumo hanno un determinato comportamento con i figli, dettato dal ruolo, c'è chi lo fà con più severità e chi meno, chi è pedante e chi meno, chi è accondiscendente e chi meno e via dicendo ma sicuramente tutti si apprestano a svolgere questo compito basilare con uno sconfinato e immenso amore !!! Ma un padre oltre a questo è anche un “uomo”ed è proprio il profilo umano, di uomo tra gli uomini, che mi ha portato ad iniziare questo lavoro, oserei dire di ricerca, esegetico, di tutti gli scritti e archiviazioni varie che con pazienza e passione certosina egli aveva iniziato ed implementato nei vari anni della sua vita. Ho avuto la fortuna di crescere in una famiglia molto unita, sotto tutti gli aspetti. Mio padre apparteneva a quelle belle famiglie di una volta, numerose: erano otto figli, madre, padre e “zizì” a carico (una zia di mia padre, sorella minore di mia nonna, la quale viveva sotto lo stesso tetto a causa di lievi problemi invalidanti) e come tradizione comanda, tutti i figli maschi e dico tutti nessuno escluso, hanno ereditato dal padre l'arte della lavorazione del legno.

  • Decreto Sulla Vita E Le Virtù Del Servo Di Dio Sacerdote Luigi Novarese La Chiesa Ha Riconosciuto L'eroicità Della Vita E De
    Decreto sulla vita e le virtù del Servo di Dio Sacerdote Luigi Novarese La Chiesa ha riconosciuto l’eroicità della vita e delle virtù di Luigi Novarese, definito dal Beato Giovanni Paolo II “Apostolo degli ammalati”. Il processo canonico, iniziato il 17 settembre 1989, si è concluso con la firma di papa Benedetto XVI che ha dato il via libera alla beatificazione del fondatore dei Silenziosi Operai della Croce e del Centro Volontari della Sofferenza che avverrà nella primavera del 2013. «Dio Padre misericordioso e Dio di ogni consolazione ci consola in ogni nostra tribolazione perché possiamo anche consolare quelli che si trovano in ogni genere di afflizione» (2 Cor 1,4). Il Servo di Dio Monsignor Luigi Novarese, guidato dal Messaggio di Lourdes e di Fatima, ha scoperto in queste parole la rivelazione di una grande verità: il sofferente, il malato, nel dono dello Spirito Consolatore, è chiamato ad essere “apostolo” e consolatore dei suoi fratelli sofferenti. Luigi Novarese, nato a Casale Monferrato (Alessandria) il 29 luglio 1914, morto a Rocca Priora (Roma) il 20 luglio 1984, ha testimoniato, nella sua vita sacerdotale, quanto ha insegnato a tutti i sofferenti. Ultimo di nove figli, ha sperimentato la sofferenza soprattutto dai 9 ai 17 anni, per una coxite tubercolare che, nonostante cure e ricoveri, lo ridusse in fin di vita. Quando i medici gli diagnosticarono non più di due mesi di vita, per consiglio di Don Rinaldi, terzo successore di Don Bosco, incominciò delle novene alla Madonna Ausiliatrice e a Don Bosco. Dopo la terza novena, il 17 maggio 1931 si trovò improvvisamente guarito, anche se la gamba destra era rimasta 15 cm più corta, costringendolo a portare una scarpa ortopedica.
