Prayer formulated by H.E. Mons. Claudio Gatti on 1st March 2009

My God, you have read what is inside my heart in this moment that I define it as the most difficult and most intense and You know why. As a son, I turn insistently to the Father and say: "Lord, save us" and to save us you must hasten your intervention. Sorry if I use the expression "you must" because you are God, but I say it to highlight our state of mind and like the apostles I cry to you: "Wake up, Lord, otherwise we will perish". We perish under suffering, pain and human misunderstanding, under the struggle and persecution which, unfortunately, is led by your ministers. Lord, you have said many times that you do not want to see your Son fail, but we too are Your children, I am Your child, each of us is Your child and so I ask You not to witness our failure either. Today this is evident, because we are the weak, the defeated, the condemned and the persecuted; they are making fun of us, they laugh at us, but You told us that they strike us because they cannot strike You, they condemn us because they cannot condemn You, they make fun of us because they cannot make fun of You. My God, I said it before and I reiterate it in public today, we find ourselves in this situation because, even if we did not fully understand it, we have always said yes to whatever you demanded us to do. You commanded me to celebrate Holy Mass on that famous 8th March and on 1st April I was suspended a divinis. You ordained me Bishop and, even if with deceptions and betraying the code, they reduced me to the lay state, but they also condemned Your action, they condemned Your work and now, Lord, ten years have passed. Humanly we are tired of waiting, you took us from one date to another, from one situation to another. We followed you even if we did not always understand why you asked us to do certain things, but now, Lord, You are God, turn the situation around because, as shepherd of this flock, I am afraid that it may disperse, that it may be attacked by the wolves that are called discouragement, fatigue and depression. Send your angels to support us, continue to send us the Mother of the Eucharist, and, finally, entrust her with a few words that can bring back that serenity that is now forgotten, that joy that is no longer felt, that enthusiasm that we have shown to you but today it is replaced by a superhuman and unremitting effort. Thank you, my God, for having listened to me, but above all if you will give a tangible answer to this spontaneous prayer. Thanks from me, from the seer, from the community of Rome and from all the thousands or even millions of people around the world who believe in Eucharistic miracles, in the Mother of the Eucharist, in the Bishop ordained by You, my God, and in the seer who you have placed as an innocent victim on Your altar so that the Church can truly be reborn. For Christ our Lord.
