MARIAN DAY AT VALDOCCO

On 13th October, the 34th Marian Day took place in Valdocco, on the theme ‘Towards the Jubilee: a symphony of prayers’, in which not only members of the Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA) Turin Primary participated, but also a large group of Associates from Lombardy, Sicily and Liguria. The day was characterised by a formative moment led by Fr. Roberto Carelli Sdb, who, taking up the theme of prayer indicated by the Pope in preparation for the Jubilee, commented on the prayer of ‘I adore you my God’ which invites us every morning to renew our love for God and to offer our actions, asking for His grace that they be truly good and in conformity with His will.

This was followed by personal prayer and reflection and the recitation of the Rosary in the Valdocco courtyard. All the new aspiring members were presented and testimonies followed on the IXth Marian Congress held in Fatima with the title: ‘I will give you the teacher’. The day ended with the celebration of the Eucharist presided over by Fr. Gabriel De Jesus Cruz Trejo, ADMA's World Spiritual Animator, concelebrated by Fr. Manolo Jimenez, the Rector of the community of Mary Help of Christians, Fr. Roberto Carelli and Fr. Giovanni Frigerio, during which 24 people joined the Association, making making their commitment.
