Fr Pietro GarelliITA - ESP - ENG

At 3 p.m. today (local time), 8 November, in the infirmary of the community of Alba, following a serious respiratory crisis, our brother Disciple of the Divine Master has returned
to the Father. BRO. PIETRO STEFANO GARELLI, 91 years, 61 of Pauline life, 56 of religious profession.


Bro. Pietro – known by everybody through his pet name "Pierino" – was born in Gorzegno (Cuneo) on 17 May 1921 and has passed the threshold of the Congregation already as an adult on 15 September 1951 in Alba. He had lived the terrible experience of the war as a soldier; with reason his superiors, in their report for the religious investiture (1953), note down: "He is a made man, familiar with the hardships of life." At the end of his two years of novitiate at Ostia (1954-1956), he made here his first profession on 8 September 1956 and, at the end of his formation, the perpetual profession on 8 September 1961 in Rome.

O Gesù, Maestro divino, ringrazio e benedico il tuo cuore amantissimo per l’istituzione del sacerdozio... Manda buoni operai alla tua messe, o Gesù. Siano i sacerdoti sale che purifica e preserva; siano la luce del mondo; siano la città posta sul monte; siano tutti fatti secondo il tuo cuore (PR 137).

Que todos los sacerdotes sean sal que purifica y preserva, luz del mundo; ciudad situada en lo alto; que todos estén modelados según tu corazón (PR 137).

O Jesus, Divine Master, I thank and bless your most loving heart for the institution of the priesthood... Send good workers to your harvest, O Jesus. Let the priests be the salt that purifies and preserves; may they be the light of the world; may they be the city placed on the mountain; let them do all these according to your heart (PR 137).
