In the footsteps of the Venerable Father Antonio Pagani
30 December 2023
Father Antonio Pagani, Mystical, Maestro, traveling companion: intercedes for us!
Joining the Church in recognizing the virtues of Father Antonio Pagani is for us, sisters from Brazil, a particular opportunity to testify to the graces received through his intercessions to the Lord.
Many times we prayed as a novena for his intercession for the healing of loved ones and for the support of those who were suffering., always feeling with great gratitude that the Lord was listening to us.
We record here, especially Marcelo's return home, a young groom who suffered a serious accident earlier in the day 05 November 2005 and he completely regained his health after the novena made by the entire community of the town where we lived. This was a great grace for everyone.
But, the greatest grace that we want to share with the entire Religious Family is the birth in 1997 of the first lay fraternity groups, that starting from the General Chapter of 2002 they were recognized by the Religious Family and called “Father Antonio Pagani Lay Fraternity”.
Today in Brazil, I already am 10 groups in a total of approx 120 members who gather every month to learn, meditate and live the virtues of Father Antonio Pagani. Men and women who are generous in their pastoral commitment and family life learn a solid spirituality, generous, humble and joyful.
We, sisters in Brazil, we are few in number, but thanks to this lay presence we testify that our charism grows and becomes a sign of God's love for everyone starting from his key word: “In conformity with Jesus Christ Crucified, love and serve!”
We also thank the Lord because the celebration of the recognition of the Virtues of Father Antonio Pagani is so close to the celebration of the perpetual vows of two of our sisters and is accompanied by the arrival of a new young person in discernment.
Thank you Father Antonio Pagani for your presence as a Father, Mystical, Teacher and traveling companion. Pray for us so that we can persevere on the path you have opened in history starting from your humble and generous "yes" to the Lord.
Venerable Antonio Pagani, pray for us.
