" Themes of exile and refugees under my mantle. " - "I am the Universal Mother, Mother of all, all pain, all you want ...

Born in the reclamation of Ferrara, July 7 1907, full of natural gifts and great beauty, in three years was found by his family, after agonizing research at the compost heap where he remained unconscious, exposed to the hot July sun and the fumes of the place.
on his body , all became black, opened wounds, which, instead of healing, we will explore in more and more inexplicable way.
God from an early age that he had called her suffering.
without complaint, Flora, did little Job, spent his early years at home or at sea, where he was going to summer care, including the torment of his sores.
remained blind for seven years and could not attend school to learn to read and write, even when he had the view, that suddenly regained - but still limited - while he was already on the table for the removal of an eye.
It was a very sensitive child, but the strong desire that all balanced. Courageous, not to bring to bear their status to family members, would soon be self medicating so energetic and merciless. It forbade any act of weakness and denied herself to the very smallest things. Despite everything, his soul was not penetrated the gloom. Later he gave the explanation that we report in his own words.
"He said once Who is smarter than me: - If the soul looks at the Crucifix, can not have that sense of compassion; contemplating long she feels penetrate all the sufferings and pains of Jesus How then can rise up thoughts with more serene or as may laugh, be jolly if his Master suffer? Although she looks the adult Jesus still sees the shadow painted in the eyes of the passion of the Lord. Souls must therefore be whining? No! Let's look at the Little Jesus to him like flowers, birds, trees, the sea, He smiles at Mom, plays and is happy - ".
This inner youth, combined with the warmth that emanated from his heart for souls, was the reason for its irresistible charm.
At age 11 she received her First Communion and received the grace of instantaneous healing of the wounds more visible and shrunken leg and arm. The wounds were closed hidden little at a time much later, but they it remained throughout his life the pain, as if they were open.
The long training of the apostolic consecrated suffering, although devoid of all studies and human means. Began early in the home, the children of the country, then his uncle Monsignor in various parishes, and later in Piedmont, in Catholic and Testona of Moncton, as the founder of a nursery in Palera and Eucharistic initiatives in various places throughout World War and subsequent years at the Oratory of S. Michele (held by the Sisters of the Consolata Missionaries), to whom he dedicated ten years of his heroic activities, saving the work and giving her a wonderful new revival.
I knew the wonderful consoling hospital patients. The youth felt attracted by his words and his personality: he was a real drag. It was precious
Councillor of souls, in which he could read by intuition sopannaturale.
With so extraordinary gifts of God, he lived all his life hidden in the most humble occupations, not to dictate, however, prevented the sublime pages for loftiness of thought and beauty of teaching. Never read any book in his life.
humility added admirable fortitude in continuing difficulties and struggles, a faith overwhelming, a love that sacrificed all in the thirst of souls, a Christian spirit of joy that led to the good. Duced by the lights of the Holy Spirit, in such an abundance of simple wisdom, wise in the ways of the world, raggiuse perfection in all its work. He was a great organizer
with minimal means.
In 1950 he left to divine the Oratory of St. Michael.
He founded the Family Educators of the Apostles, to get to all the needs of souls in the House Family Lady of the Angels.
His spirituality was marked by a cross, but radiated serenity, all concentrated in the SS. Eucharist, the greatest attraction to the Child Jesus and of the purest light in a great devotion to Our Lady.
The Church, the See of Peter, the Martyrs of the Catacombs, the Apostles and the Gospel, especially in recent years, the cross, in our continuing effort to measure it, were its greatest ideals.
He opened his arms crossed, as had been predicted, and died in unspeakable suffering - help loving borne by relieving remedies rights - after leaving all of the assets of his wealth to his spiritual sisters in Christ and souls, March 12, 1954, in the Opera House where he was born into the teachers Apostles turin (see SF da Paola 42).
