C'is a starting point that marks the experience of the pasta factory in the juvenile prison of Casal del Marmo, in Rome. It is the visit of Pope Francis on Holy Thursday 2013, for the washing of the feet with the young inmates. "On that occasion - says Alberto Mochi Onori, head of the ONLUS Gustolibero that started the initiative - the Pope asked the chaplain, Father Gaetano Greco, to do something to give these kids another chance".
«O Lord, may I be a valid instrument in your hands for the salvation of the world". This is the simple invocation printed on the holy card for the first Mass of Don Giuseppe Puglisi (1937-1993), martyr at the hands of the mafia. Proclaimed blessed in 2013, he is remembered on October 21, the day of his baptism. Truly, this contemporary of ours in over thirty years of priestly ministry has been a fruitful instrument in the hands of the Lord.
In recent months, the news came that Monsignor Antonio Tremolada, bishop of Brescia, has allowed the cult of Maria Rosa Mistica, based on the alleged apparitions to Pierina Gilli (1911-1991) at Fontanelle di Montichiari. More recent are the events in Trevignano (Rome), which began in 2016 when Gisella Cardia reported some apparitions of the Madonna, accompanied by tears of blood from a statue and messages.
