MOVIMENTO IMPEGNO E TESTIMONIANZA
This prayer was recited by the Bishop Claudio Gatti on August 5, 2007 while,
together with the Visionary and some young people, he was preparing to the Mother
of the Eucharist's apparition.
He let his heart speak, pierced by suffering, and his soul, broken by sorrow
in seeing Christ's Church ravaged and devastated by those who on the contrary
should defend and take care of it.
Our Lady wanted this prayer, orally formulated by the Bishop, to be written,
spread and recited by the members of our Community and by the Christians who
love the Church, pray and suffer for its renaissance and triumph.
God Daddy, God Brother, God Friend, God One and Three, we recommend to you
your Church, scourged by dangerous storms. We know that it will never collapse,
because You support it, as You promised, by your grace, you power and love.
Unfortunately, before our eyes is present a sad reality: the ship that You entrusted
to the apostles and to their successors has leaks in the hold and the sails
lacerated by opposite winds. Your ship is at the mercy of the waves and is not
able to set sail, as you ordered to it. The wind of the Holy Spirit passes in
vain through the lacerated sails that don't bridle it, as the helmsmen of the
ship, instead of fixing them, they sleep and think only about their own interests.
Dirty hands make the helm turn in vain, so the ship instead of avoiding the
submerged rocks, goes against them, causing the opening of bigger and bigger
leaks. From the ship continuously fall into the sea many passengers, because
left alone, without a leader.
God Daddy, God Brother, God Friend, God One and Three, anticipate your powerful
interventions in favour of your Church, make it be born again humble, poor and
faithful. Put at the corner and defeat those who ravaged, sacked and wounded
it. Rescue it from the mercenaries and entrust it to the shepherds who are expression
of your Heart.
Mother of the Eucharist, today more than ever the Mystic Body of your Son needs
to feel the warmth of your love, the hold of your arms and the protection of
your motherly mantle. Look at how many bleeding wounds has the Mystic Body of
Christ. The good ones keep on being persecuted and condemned by the mercenaries
and the bad ones keep on flinging arrows, darts and shots against your Son,
with the stupid illusion of killing Him, but they don't know that each drop
of blood poured by your children purifies and strengthens the Church.
St. Joseph, beloved husband of Mary, to you who received from God the important
task of taking care and protecting the little Jesus, we entrust the Church,
born from the pierced chest of the Crucified, true God and true man, who you
loved as a son.
O God Daddy, God Brother, God Friend, God One and Three, we wait with trust
that You can anchor the ship at the two columns, on one of them is placed the
Mother of the Eucharist and of the other one stands out the Eucharist, as just
in that moment we will witness the triumph of your Church and will have just
one flock and one shepherd.
With the angels and the Saints we sing: "Praise and glory to You, our God,
for all centuries". Amen.
