Dear visitors, and most especially our dearly beloved volunteers,

  1. On September 8, 2018, the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the renewal of our website began. Two years later (on September 8, 2020), we commenced collaboration with generous volunteers, both for translating various emails into other languages and in other voluntary activities—such as managing social media channels, entering translations into WordPress, and preparing Word documents containing texts to be translated.
  2. Our thanks go first and foremost to God, the giver of every good gift. Then to the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom the Lord—by appointing her as our Mother—entrusted with the care of all our personal needs and those of the Church.
  3. We owe thanks as well to our volunteers and collaborators, to whom I suggest doing everything as an explicit act of love for the Lord. Jesus said: “Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.” (John 14:21). I am certain that you have experienced how God already rewards in this present life what is done for Him. God is faithful to His promises.
  4. Every act by which you collaborate with our website to spread the Gospel is richly repaid. Even the time you devote is repaid. What Pope St. John Paul II used to say, applies to you as well: “Do not be afraid to give your time to God, because He always gives it back, and full of blessings.”
  5. Since we intentionally began the renewal and the collaboration with volunteers under the sign of Mary (on her Nativity feast), I suggest adding one more intention: seize the opportunity to offer your collaboration as an explicit act of love for the Madonna. To Her, the Church applies the words of Scripture: “Those who love me I also love” (Proverbs 8:17) and “Those who honor me will have eternal life” (qui elucidant me, vitam aeternam habebunt Sir 24:31)
  6. I pray that you may experience daily and tangibly how Our Lord and the Madonna reward what you do for Them. It is a grace to be able to collaborate for the Gospel. And an even greater grace is to persevere in that collaboration for the Gospel.
  7. I send a warm thought to all our visitors. For you and for our collaborators, it may be consoling to remember that around 60 Masses are offered annually, about five each month. It is a secret and marvelous support in its power. 

For your needs, turn to God, accompanying your prayers and desires, resting your trust upon the Holy Masses celebrated especially for you.

I bless you and remember you all in prayer.

padre Angelo
