We pray for everyone
Cdearest de The Holy Crusade of Saint Joseph, the month of March dedicated to Saint Joseph has just passed. March 19th is a day for me that I cannot forget, because in 1961, on that very day, I left the land where I was born. 62 years have passed and I thank God for the life he gave me. I was a little girl and now the years have passed. He gave me health to work, he gave me strength and courage to carry through the bad times. It is almost 28 years since my husband left me and returned to the Father's house; I miss him so much. I have three children; pray for them and their families. I pray for the Pope and for all Christians in the world, especially for the poorest, because there is so much injustice in the world. I pray for government leaders, for families, for young people and children, for the elderly and lonely people. We pray for the souls in Purgatory, for those most abandoned, for all those I carry in my heart and for all those dying every day. I greet you with much affection.

When one turns back to look at his past life, he inevitably sees bright days and dark days. But when one, whether for bright or dark days, finds the strength to say thanks to God, it means that the Lord has sown a lot of good seed in his heart. We also become capable of praying not only for ourselves, but also for others, for everyone, near and far. Dear Mrs. Antonietta, his words are simple but touching. We join in her thanks and prayers, hoping to receive a big heart too. The director
Healing of the heart
CDear Father Director, I thank you very much for sending me the magazine in honor of Saint Joseph on time every month, The Holy Crusade. I send you with great tenderness an offer for your works. Saint Joseph protect my family and myself. I entrust to Saint Joseph all my fragilities, my restless soul. I would like to give many answers to all the injustices, the suffering, the wickedness, which seem to reign supreme in our era. I entrust everything to Saint Joseph; may he put tenderness and good feelings in the hearts of all of us, bringing us closer to Jesus. May Saint Joseph distance young people from violence and put feelings of peace and brotherhood in their hearts. O Saint Joseph, she is a fragile young woman who writes to you and entrusts herself to you in everything and for everything.

It's true, dear Lady: there are physical healings, but there are also internal healings. The latter are less visible but no less miraculous. The spiritual healings of the heart then manifest themselves externally, in good deeds and in prayer that can embrace everyone. We must always ask for this interior healing through the intercession of the glorious Saint Joseph! Let us ask it for men, especially for young people. We will certainly be granted. The director.
The magazine keeps us company
CDear Director, I have always been devoted to Saint Joseph and I have a small altar at home and I pray for an hour every day: I say the Holy Rosary etc. I also made the novena to my dear Saint Joseph. I am sending you a small offering for you and your poor. Thank you for the beautiful calendar and the magazine, which we receive with such joy every month and which keeps us so company, gives us comfort in sad moments and difficulties, in suffering and in our advanced age. Excuse me for my writing and my shaking hand; I'm 83 years old.
Dora and Frank, USA
Thank you, dear Dora, for the simple words that you address The Holy Crusade. If when you read our magazine, you feel joy and comfort, if it keeps you company in moments when age weighs most, we can only be happy because in this way we have achieved the purpose of our publication. I also read in your letter that you have a great devotion to Saint Joseph and pray every day in front of him his altar. This is also the aim of our magazine: to keep devotion to the holy Patriarch alive. We already knew that our work wasn't a waste of time, but if we hear it from time to time, we are even happier. Thank you. The director
I felt more
close to San Giuseppe
CDear Director, thank you The Holy Crusade to keep us informed every month. I had the pleasure of following and participating in the Holy Mass in the Basilica, broadcast on television; it made me feel closer. A big thank you to Saint Joseph because he listens to us and intercedes for us. I send you my offering with all my heart and I pray to Saint Joseph to help our families. Many affectionate greetings.

You too, Mrs Gina, thank us for The Holy Crusade. We know that for many Italians who are abroad this is a simple but effective channel to stay connected to the Italian homeland, to the Catholic faith, to the invocation of Saint Joseph. Furthermore, the opportunity, offered to us by TV2000, of trastopping the Holy Mass from our Basilica in the month of February 2023 gave many of our Members unexpected joy and a renewed bond with Saint Joseph and with the Pious Union. We are extremely happy about it and will continue with commitment to serve this family of believers, united in the name and invocation of the holy Patriarch. The director.
In prayer
we are never alone
CDear Director, thank you very much for your response, which made me feel that I am not alone in my prayers. I am convinced that our Lord Jesus is always with us and that everything we go through will work out anyway. Yet his letter helps me feel good and pushes me to help others with my small offering. I thank you again, dear Don Bruno, for your beautiful words, but above all for his prayers. May God's will always be done.
James, USA.
Dear Lady, what a beautiful testimony yours has on the comfort of prayer! When we know that someone remembers us to the Lord or when we can join others in prayer, we find evident strength, even if we don't know where it comes from. It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, who is the sweet consoler of souls. The reality of the Pious Union is based on this faith and this experience: we are a pious union whose purpose and life is to pray: for the dying, for the sick, for those who recommend themselves to our prayers. Thanks for his offer. The director.
