“While still a child, I kept hearing the name of a woman who had been bedridden for more than forty years.  My mother was fond of her, and often spoke about her.  Especially in the moments of sorrow and oppression, she would run to her to implore her prayers.  After twenty years, I went back to visit this soul again, and I found her always the same: placid and smiling, working with the fusetti of the tombolo in her hands, or with the Rosary between her fingers, in attitude of prayer…Seventy years in bed!  One entire long existence.  Well, from 1878 to 1947, this soul spent her life in solitude, in suffering, in silence, and in prayer.

 This soul had a name known to many: Luisa Piccarreta, called “Luisa, the Saint.”

Luisa said to my aunt (Fr. Bernardino Giuseppe Bucci, O.F.M. referring to his Aunt Rosaria Bucci) “You will be my witness” and one day Padre (now Saint) Pio told her point-blank in his Benevento dialect: “Rosa’, va nanz, va nanz ca Luisa iè gran e u munn sarà chin di Luisa” (Rosaria, go ahead, go ahead for Luisa is great and the world will be full of Luisa)

 OUR LADY OF LA SALETTE, FRANCE (1846)

September 19

“I call upon My children, My true devotees, those who have given themselves to Me so that I may Lead them to My Divine Son, those whom I bear as it were in My Arms, those who have lived in My Spirit; finally, I call upon the Apostles of the Latter Times, the faithful disciples of Jesus Christ who have lived in contempt of the world and of themselves, in poverty and humility, in contempt and silence, in prayer and mortification, in chastity and in union with God, in suffering, and unknown to the world. It is time for them to emerge and come enlighten the earth. Go, show yourselves to be My dear children; I am with you and in you, provided your faith is the Light enlightening you in these evil times. May your zeal make you famished for the Glory and Honor of Jesus Christ. Do battle, children of Light, you, the few who see thereby; for the time of times, the end of ends, is at hand…”
