On this day, 16th of May 2013, the orionine family in its entirety was celebrating the Solemnity
of the Canonization of Luigi Orione and the liturgical feast in his honor. Each one according
to where he was, have tried to make it festive and better to live it as is required.
In Rome, this commemoration was tripled of meaning with
the renewal of vows of two young members of
our delegations from India
and the institution of the acolyte of four other confreres
including Anthony Njenga of our delegation and native
in Kenya.
In his address during the Holy Mass,
Bishop Giovanni D'ERCOLE, Bishop Titular
of Dusa and Auxiliary
of the Archdiocese of Aquila,
based on the word of God given to the solemnity noted
a dimension Central of orionine charisma, that
of love. Love not just as loving exchange or trade
goods and assistance to the needy,
but going further, the size of the cross as the perfect expression of love. This love that will never pass away is the one which
does not hesitate to give everything
until the gift of himself.
After the Mass, a beautiful procession with a relic and a statue of St. Luigi Orione has traveled the streets of Ognissanti Parish, Via Appia, Via Etruria through Piazza Re di Roma. After a refresh was offered to all, and to close in beauty, an exceptional fireworks, organized by Don Graziano, Vicar of the Parish Ognissanti.
