Evil has no explanation... «Evil is done so that we can roll up our sleeves and work to fight it»
When we are born we enter the world crying. We enter time with a cry that becomes a prayer, an invocation, a request for help in an unknown reality. Mother's warm and welcoming womb delivered us to life.

by Luigi Crimella
Interview with Don Mario Carrera
In the year 2020 we will remember the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of Saint Joseph as Patron Saint of the universal Church by Blessed Pope Pius IX (8 December 1870). To understand the historical and spiritual meaning of this anniversary, Don Mario Carrera, general director of the Primary Pious Union of the Transit of Saint Joseph and director of the magazine you are reading, intervenes. For once, Don Mario - who is a journalist - instead of writing an article allowed himself to be interviewed, and we thank him for this.
