“Dear Gianluigi Contarin, now you too are up there watching over us. You have been a great Man, always ready to help people, and in fact we collaborated together several times. You were the mayor of Riese Pio X, the little town I love and which saw my childhood. I remind you with your last words that you wrote to us, on June 5: ‘Dear Friends of Anima Universale… you too are part of my life…’
Gianluigi, forever in my heart.
Thank You, dear Friend.”—Swami Roberto on his Facebook page

“Father Fulgenzio, my friend,
We have come a long way together… you gave us the honor of helping you in your great mission in Africa. We shared joys and sorrows together.
You have always been part of our family and today we have “lost” a special brother. Humanly, the pain is great, as is great the love that united us and unites us forever.
Those who had the grace to meet you can say that in their life they have known a true Saint, a Saint in flesh and blood.
A Saint who loved all my monks enormously.I keep you forever in my heart.”—Swami Roberto

May 8 was World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day. The Church Anima Universale wanted to join those who celebrated this day with great gratitude to the wonderful volunteers of the Italian Red Cross, who for many months have been at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic and also do their utmost to help the elderly, the frail and those in financial difficulty.
And since concrete solidarity is also important in helping the Red Cross to help, on the occasion the Church Anima Universale donated Euros 10,200 to the Italian Red Cross Committee of Leini, and Euros 5,000 to the Italian Red Cross Committee of Treviso, near Venice, which assist and support many of our fellow citizens in the territories where our monasteries are located.
