From Biella a journey of solidarity

Dear and esteemed Director Don Mario Carrera, in the month of August 2013 dedicated to the BVM Assunta, we received the welcome letter and with full joy in our hearts we were filled with surprise and wonder in feeling encouraged by the primary headquarters in Rome " Pious Union of Transit".
We feel profoundly united with a special spirituality, confident in the powerful protection of the patron S. Giuseppe and the founder S. Luigi Guanella, whom we devoutly venerate in our small sanctuary in Biella/Riva.
At our artistic-historical shrine every first Wednesday of the month the Holy Mass is celebrated. votive mass in honor of St. Joseph, at 21.00 pm with a fair-good participation of faithful, pilgrims, devotees, friends and associates; we sing, we pray for all the deceased registered for suffrage and for the members of the Pious Union; a well-prepared and well-prepared function.

On other Wednesdays, always at 21.00 pm in the small church, the group gathers for the hour of prayer dedicated to the patron saint St. Joseph, meditating on the mysteries of the saint's life, the supplications for the dying, the Loreto litanies in Latin, Compline and the memory of St. Luigi Guanella, to implore new graces and spiritual treasures.
In the month of October, we will prepare to organize a great day of celebration, on the occasion of the liturgical anniversary of St. Luigi Guanella. Let us gather all our best strength and energy to continue what we have undertaken, providence is plentiful and works wonderful wonders with projects that exceed our expectations. Best wishes for every good, serenity, health and peace... with a cordial fraternal greeting.

Arch. Gabriele Prola
president of the Pious Union


Knowing how to read life as a constant and free gift

Dear Father Mario, I really want this letter of mine to be published to testify to all the graces I have received, especially the one for my husband. Every year we come to Rome to personally leave our offering, but since my husband was ill, we were afraid we wouldn't be able to come. Thanks to Saint Joseph, however, it was possible because my husband recovered. I thank Saint Joseph whom I invoke every morning to protect my family and all the families in need.

Equally dear Mrs Rosa,
good news is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day; I too join her and the readers of this page in giving thanks to God who, through the loving attention of Saint Joseph, allows us to smile at her life. Our existence, supported by faith, makes us sing of gratitude that allows us to overcome even difficulties with the certainty that the help of God and our dear Saint Joseph cannot be missing.


The joy of receiving the magazine

Reverend Director Don Mario, once again I must fulfill a promise made to my dearest Saint Joseph to bear witness to the graces received. This time there are two and they concern my son who got a job that he had been waiting for for a long time and my nephew, a 17 year old boy, who was seriously ill following a bad virus. So my son is now working and my grandson is doing much better and on the road to full recovery. I thank you for the good wishes he sent me for my name day and for the magazine "La Santa Crociata" which I have received every month for many years, and which is as if he were bringing Saint Joseph himself into my home. When the magazine arrives, I read it with joy and hope and the articles give me strength to face life with more confidence, especially its editorial which I really like. I ask you for a prayer for my nephew Danny. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Kind regards to you and all your collaborators.
