| 229 Elisabetta Sanna Imbued with Pallottine Charism SYMPOSIUM ON DIALOGUE ELISABETTA SANNA IMBUED WITH PALLOTTINE CHARISM ELISABETTA SANNA PERVASA DAL CARISMA PALLOTTINO Augustine Kolencherry1 Introduction As we explore the role played by Elisabetta Sanna in the life and apostolate of Vincent Pallotti, it is necessary for us to point out sum- marily what Pallottine Charism is. The Church has been telling us that all the members of the Institute of consecrated life must go back to their origins, namely, for what their congregation was founded in order to revive the original charism and to live according to the spirit of the Founder. The whole patrimony of the Institute must be faithfully pre- served by all. This patrimony is comprised of the intention of the Founders of all that the competent ecclesiastical authority has approved concerning the nature, purpose, spirit and character of the Institute and its sound traditions. It is in this context that we search for the charism of Pallotti, his original intentions and his special spirit which he imparted to his fol- lowers. Work of evangelization is the fundamental task of the people of God. As members of the living Christ incorporated into him in baptism, all faithful have an obligation to collaborate in the expansion and spread of the body of Christ. The mission of the people of God is one. All pas- tors, laymen and religious each one according to his specific vocation, are called to an apostolic engagement. In fact the charism of the founders is an experience of the Holy Spirit transmitted to their followers, to be lived by them to be preserved, deepened and developed in harmony with the Body of Christ. Pallotti speaks of his charism and the triple inspiration which he received during the Mass celebrated on 9th January, 1835: to establish a 1 Professor of Systematic Theology, Prabodhana. N. 50/2020 – pp. 229-243 | 229 AUGUSTINE KOLENCHERRY Pious Society of universal apostolate to propagate faith and religion of Jesus Christ among the non-Christians and non-Catholics; another apostolate to revive, conserve and foster faith among Catholics; an in- stitution of universal charity which embraces all kinds of works of mercy both spiritual and corporal in order to make the world realize that God is infinite love. From the above passage, Pallotti’s charism is clear. We further notice the special background existing during the time of Pallotti: the worsening crisis of faith; expansion of Church’s missions; Church fac- ing opposition - faith and believers ridiculed; Diocesan and religious priests disunited; laity and clergy segregated; Priests and religious at the helm of affairs guiding the destinies of the Church; lLaity mere passive spectators or receivers of spiritual benefits; isolated missionary work still prevalent. Therefore, Pallotti wanted to revive faith, enkindle zeal and or- ganize missionary work in a team involving the laity. Pallotti’s vision of the Church is worth noting. Church according to Pallotti: One body, the faithful united in faith under one shepherd, Jesus. In that church there will be no fight, no di- vision, no domination and no power seeking. All contributing towards the common goal, collaborating, owning responsibility, honouring the dignity of each other, Caring for the weak and poor and One Commun- ion effected by baptism. 1. Elisabetta Sanna’s life at Codrongianos Elisabetta was born on April 23rd, 1788 in the village of Codrongi- anos. It is interesting to note the past history of Elisabeth. She was not from a rich affluent family. From her childhood onwards, Elisabetta was a bit handicapped. Even three months after her birth she could not raise her arms. No medical treatment could improve her situation. She grew up as a devout pious girl. She was indeed a pretty young girl. She was married at the age of 19th on September 13th, 1807 and had five children. Her husband was Antonio Maria Porcu, a virtuous Christian. He was a dedicated young man, an exemplary husband and father who loved his wife and trusted her fully. In fact he used to tell his friends very 230 | RIVISTA APOSTOLATO UNIVERSALE ELISABETTA SANNA IMBUED WITH PALLOTTINE CHARISM correctly: “My wife is not like yours, she is a saint.” Elisabeth in turn used to remark proudly “I was not worthy to have such a husband, he was so good.” Their family was a model for the entire area. Elisabeth took care of her each child so carefully that the children grew up in virtue, with profound love of God and neighbor. Elisabeth’s attention was largely on the Christian education of her children. She was an or- dinary housewife and she had to work hard to feed her children. Sanna prepared the children for the first communion. She taught them cate- chism and fostered their faith carefully. A genuine Family Apostolate was carried out by Elisabetta. She herself was a good spiritual Mother for the girls and women of the locality. She was indeed an apostle in the family and village. 2. The Family Apostolate The Family of Elisabetta appeared to be a school of perfection with discipline and system. Every day there was a common time when the Mother and the Family sat together for the reading of the Word and due reflection, for catechetical teaching, recital of Holy Rosary and other family prayers. It is to be specially noted that Elisabetta Sanna found time every day to spend long hours before the Blessed Sacrament in silent adoration. Many people approached her for counsel and spir- itual direction. In fact she wished to be with her children always. But the proposed pilgrimage to the Holy Land, which she already started together with others, its unexpected failure, her subsequent illness and the changed situations made her incapable of returning home as she planned. By this time her eldest son was 17 years old (……). Some ignorant people used to make sinister remarks saying that Elisabeth Sanna neglected her family and did not form her children in Catholic Faith. She did not even care to return to her family to fulfill her duty as a Mother. In fact all these remarks came from ignorance of the people. The first part of her life saw her in the fullness of Christian Family Apostolate. She could not return home in Sardinia, because of her ill health. In fact she longed to visit her children at home, but could not. Her Doctor Petrilli wrote finally in 1838: “I am of opinion that under- taking another journey by Boat to Sardinia could lead her to an even N. 50/2020 – pp. 229-243 | 231 AUGUSTINE KOLENCHERRY worse condition.”(….) When St. Vincent Pallotti heard it he said to Elis- abeth “God wants you in Rome.” Elisabeth bowed her head low and said “Lord, your will be done”. She was accustomed to bow in every- thing in immense pain and sorrow before the Lord unconditionally and say “your will be done, all for your glory.” In spite of her handicaps, and heavy works every now and then she turned to the Lord and offered everything as a sacrifice acceptable to him. And Elisabetta remained in Rome until her death in 1857. 3. “All for Your Infinite Glory” Herein we find an echo of Palottine spirituality. Pallotti had adopted a stricter slogan compared to that of Ignatius Loyola who said frequently “All for the glory of God”. In 1825 Sanna’s husband Antonio fell sick and Elisabetta was at his side to offer him all possible services. No medication was able to bring him the sound health which he pos- sessed in those youthful years. He bade farewell to his beloved family on January 25th and went up to the Lord for his well merited reward in heaven. Sanna now a widow with five children felt keenly the respon- sibility for the administration of the house and land especially the spir- itual and temporal education of the children. With the permission of her Franciscan Lenten preacher Luigi Paolo da Ploaghe Elisabetta made a vow of chastity. With firm conviction that she was a bride of Jesus Christ she made phenomenal progress in spiritual maturity. As we al- ready mentioned she became a collaborator in the Union of Catholic Apostolate founded by Vincent Pallotti in Rome. Those who came to her would say of her “She saw God in everything and adored him eve- rywhere.” The love of God was her life. Every greater interest disap- peared in the face of the interests of God. In fact, Elisabeth herself used to say almost unceasingly “my God, I love you above all things.” A mystical fire burnt in her. She became an instrument of divine Provi- dence for the salvation of others. It was indeed a holiness of daily life as Pope Francis mentioned in his apostolic exhortation. We learn from Elisabeth that our happiness is in doing the will of God and our ability to accept all things that happen to us. “O Lord, with your help I always do the best. I can act everyday according to the will of God.” 232 | RIVISTA APOSTOLATO UNIVERSALE ELISABETTA SANNA IMBUED WITH PALLOTTINE CHARISM 4. The Domestic Church The Family Apostolate with the prevalent idea of Domestic Church, today every Christian Family has to take over the evangeliza- tion of the members of the family seriously. The knowledge of Christ and the salvation history are not seriously attended to in daily life. The youth in general are ignorant of Christ and the role of redemption which Christianity plays in the modern world. Millions of young Christians do not know who Christ is. Many of them are totally ignorant of Christian prayers, the value of Sacramental life and spiritual call to attain perfec- tion of holiness and the mystical treasures which are open before them.

  • Daily Saints - 22 January
    Daily Saints - 22 January Feast of Saint Vincent Pallotti, Missionary, Founder Born: 21 April 1795, Rome, Papal States, Died: 22 January 1850 (aged 54), Rome, Papal States, Venerated in Roman Catholic Church, Beatified: January 22, 1950, by Pope Pius XII, Canonized: January 20, 1963, Rome by Pope John XXIII Vincent was born in Rome on April 21st, 1795, the third of ten children, five of whom died in infancy. His parents were Maria Maddalena di Rossi and Pietro Paolo Pallotti, a small goods grocer, owner of three shops in Rome. Vincent was profoundly influenced by their personal, practical faith, their deep devotion, and generous attentiveness to the poor. He was aware of himself quite early — his urge for activity and achievement, his tendency to pride and anger. At twelve years of age, he selected Fr. Bernardino Fazzini as his confessor and spiritual director. Fazzini, a diocesan priest, recognized in Vincent a person of extraordinary spiritual gifts. Fr. Fazzini played a formative role, inculcating in his young charge a profound awareness of God, the discipline of self (according to the ascetical practices of the time), and readiness for apostolic service. With clear-sightedness and a resolute will, Vincent brought energy to his life project, despite frail health and recurrent bouts of illness. In school he was known as a “little saint” and, although bright, he was also considered “a bit slow” – an illusion amply disproved by the apostolic endeavors of his life. He was ordained a priest when only twenty-three. After his ordination in 1818, he obtained two doctorates – one in philosophy and one in theology.

  • UAC NEWSLETTER February, 2010
    UAC NEWSLETTER February, 2010 Dear brothers and sisters in the Union, As promised in last months’ issue of the UAC Newsletter we are very happy to bring you some short reports or reflections on celebrations of the Epiphany in Pallottine communities in Germany and Brazil. It is very good to see that the practice is growing and developing but in a creative way that is in tune with the reality in each area. 1. Epiphany 2010 A Triduum of the Epiphany in Limburg, Germany The Pallottine communities issued an invitation to participate in a triduum in preparation for the feast of the Epiphany. During three days they celebrated solemn Vesper Services in three different churches of Limburg. An average of 50 persons took part in each of the services. The first Vespers took place in the church of St. Marien, which is a parish administered by the Pallottines. Here Sr. Gertrud Meiser, SAC spoke about the messianic expectation of the prophet Isaiah. His vision is a source of encouragement for the Church of today and for the Pallottine family for daily living. Fr. Alexander Holzbach, SAC spoke at the second service which was held in the Church of St. Anna in the center of Limburg. He acknowledged that current parameters for the perception of Christian life may be different from those of the time of St. Paul or Vincent Pallotti. However, as Christians inspired by St. Vincent, we must be experienced as and seen to be people of confidence and hope so that persons who are interested in religious matters may know whom they can approach.

Pallotti pursues its mission of promoting academic excellence and building Christian character in a small community atmosphere of ap- proximately 400 students. The School is fully accredited by the State of Maryland, the Middle States Associa- tion of Colleges and Schools, and the Association of Independent Maryland Schools (AIMS). ST. VINCENT PALLOTTI & THE PALLOTTINE MISSIONARY SISTERS Our school’s patron, St. Vincent Pallotti, was a Catholic priest who lived in Rome from 1795-1850. Despite being small in stature and often in ill health, St. Vincent ac- complished an incredible amount in his lifetime. He founded a night school for work- ers and their families, ran a youth group for young men in a rough neighborhood in Rome, worked as a chaplain in the military hospital and the local prison, was a be- loved seminary professor, founded an orphanage, started the first known food stamp program, and worked in numerous other ministries.
