Trust in prayer
Dear Don Mario,
On Sunday 22/04/2012 I had the grace of participating in the diaconal ordination ceremony of eight deacons, including Marcos Cortes Rocha. A grace was also to be there in S.Giuseppe al Trionfale as I was a member of the Pia Unione del Transito di San Giuseppe.
I would like to tell you how the devotion and friendship of Saint Joseph was born and how it continues: in June 1997, after the passing of my father, I approached the sacraments again, my conversion began. We were at the marble craftsman's to choose the tombstone, among many proposals I saw one in a corner, on one side, without being on display, there was the image of St. Joseph the craftsman. So I choose that one, also because my father died suddenly while he was carrying out a job. Some time later I found the leaflet of the Pious Union in an urn of the traveling Madonna and I decided to sign up. Between a prayer book I discover the devotion of the Sacred Mantle; on a pilgrimage to Lourdes my mother met a Guanellian seminarian Marcos Cortes Rocha, a friendship was born, we invited him to our house and took part in the ceremonies in which we were invited at the Don Guanella Opera Seminary. So Saint Joseph follows us and is close to us. I would like to send you this little testimony, thank you for your kind attention.

Dearest Massimo,
truly the ways of God, many times, are different from the ways of men. Your testimony makes us discover the very hand of God who writes the personal history of each of us. God, also through the presence of his Saints, makes us encounter signs to show us the paths to follow. Everything is grace, everything is gift, everything is light; then it is necessary to ask for a supplement of goodwill to have your eyes illuminated by divine light.
A “just man” for better justice
Dear Pious Transit Union of St. Joseph, we received your book "The Right Man" appreciating the beautiful initiative, we also thank you for the sacred images immediately distributed and welcomed with joy and the Holy Gospels in the Romanian language. I thank you for your apostolate, the Lord sees every little drop of Love towards others where the Heart of Christ is, a Heart that beats because I am alive and Risen. Hallelujah!
I send my warmest greetings and best wishes for a Holy Easter, let us remember ourselves before the altar.

The comfort and help of Saint Joseph
Dearest Don Mario,
last September, for a surgery I had to undergo, I turned to Saint Joseph with the prayer of the Holy Mantle. Everything went well, I recovered. Thanks to Jesus, Mary and Joseph, of whom I am so devoted. Subsequently I prayed again to dear Saint Joseph to obtain from Jesus those necessary graces for my children. I commend myself to your prayers.
Angela, Giarre
