Triduum and Feast of St. Vincent Pallotti

Solemnity of St. Vincent Pallotti :
"Living with the heart the city at the school of St. Vincent Pallotti".

On January 22nd, 2020, many members of the Union of the Catholic Apostolate and friends of St. Vincent Pallotti gathered in the Church of the Most Holy Saviour in the Wave for the solemn concelebration of the Eucharist in honour of St. Vincent Pallotti.
The Holy Mass was presided over by Mons. Antonio Raspanti, Bishop of Acireale, Sicily, a diocese to which the Pallottine family is particularly attached due to the presence and pastoral commitment of the Pallottine sisters and confreres. Mgr Raspanti, in his homily, said that charity as sharing the poverty of the other is an integral part of the proclamation. Without this "lowering", without this humility, we will be like "cymbals that do not tinkling".
Present were the Superior Generals of the founding communities, Mother Ivete Garlet, Mother Izabela Świerad and Vicar General D. Józef Lasak, as well as the president of the Union of Catholic Apostolate, Dr. Donatella Acerbi, who addressed her message to the Assembly at the end of Holy Mass. The celebration was animated by the choir of the uac led by Mr. Corrado Montaldo. After Holy Mass everyone gathered for a moment of conviviality at the Hotel Ponte Sisto.

Prayer to St. Vincent Pallotti
More and more, our dear Father St.Vincent, we realize – some times because we are so distant, some other times because we are a little closer - that for your ideal of life always, in every circumstance, to love God is closely united to love our neighbor. And this is true for us now, in this very moment: to love God and to love our neighbor, that is, to love the one who sits at our side.
As your children, we ask you to unceasingly intercede with the Lord so that, through His grace, when returning to our communities, homes, families, ministries, works, services, we may always put the love for God and for those near us at the root of our whole life.
We, each and every one, the work the Lord has called you to found, ask you to bless us with your own words so that through them we recognize we are brothers and sisters and bear witness to the whole world that we are one Family: “I see you in God, I deal with you in God. I embrace you, I greet you and I love you in God. In God I always find myself united with you in all that you do, looking forward to our being reunited in God in the kingdom of heaven… .” Amen

DAY - 2

   Triduum in honor of St. Vincent Pallotti 2020
"Caring for the path of charity at the school of St. Vincent Pallotti".
A beautiful and consolidated tradition has it that on the second day of the triduum would be participated by the formators and students of the Pontifical Urban College "de Propaganda Fide", where St. Vincent was spiritual director.
   Fr. Emanuele Spagnolo, vice-rector of the same college, in his homily highlighted how the radicality of a life in the following of Jesus Christ is manifested not only outwardly, for example in works of charity, but above all in an inner conversion of the person who is willing to welcome "the new wine into new wineskins".
   As every year, one of the students of the Urban College presented a reflection in response to the letter which St Vincent Pallotti wrote to them on 17th May 1849.

Many members of the Union of Catholic Apostolate and friends of St. Vincent participated in the celebration.
The Rector of the church, Fr. Martin Manus, in his words of welcome, expressed his gratitude for this moment of communion between the Pallottine Family and the members of the Schoenstatt Institute who came for this celebration.
