The afternoon of Monday, August 2, was marked by an hour of Eucharistic adoration with which we wanted to ask from the Holy Spirit efficient light on the person to be elected. Immediately after, at the hall, the voting procedures of the Superior General started. On the third round the new superior general was elected. At 5:50 P.M., the President of the General Chapter, Fr. Francesco Bruno, proclaimed Fr. Angelo Ademir MEZZARI, 10th Superior General of the Rogationists. Fr. Angelo Mezzari was born in Criciuma SC (Brasil) on April 2, 1957, (Fr. Giorgio Nalin, ex-superior general, was born on April 2, 1951!), first of seven siblings and, at the age of eleven, he entered the Apostolic School of Criciuma SC where, under the guidance of the first Rogationist Missionaries in Brazil, he learned to love the Congregation. For eight years now, he has been the head of the Latin-American Province which he guided to the next Provincial Chapter that will be celebrated beginning on October 18, 2010. He was ordained priest on December 22, 1984. He did his licentiate in philosophy and theology with specialization in dogma, and licentiate in journalism. He speaks Portuguese, Spanish and Italian, and is one of the founders of the Institute of Pastoral Ministry of Vocations in Brazil, respected and appreciated by the Episcopal Conference of Brazil. Before accepting the election which was almost like a plebiscite, Fr. Angelo Mezzari requested for some minutes of personal reflection, during which he telephoned his mother from whom he received blessing. His father died last February. Returning to the hall, he broke his silence, and after the expressions of elation from the Chapter members he took oath and received the obedience of the confreres. The intense and moving day concluded at the chapel with the vespers during which the new superior general proclaimed the profession of faith.

It often happened in these days that some Chapter members celebrated the joyful  day of their priestly ordination, celebrating it in an atmosphere of great fraternity and common gratitude to the Lord for this great gift. Today, Fr. Gaetano Lo Russo of the Center-North Italian Province celebrated 23 years of priestly life. For this, he presided today the Eucharistic celebration, proposing a rich sequence of "Hannibalian" indications starting from the dimension of the faith, autonomy, initiative...The intention of the Holy Mass was for the election of the Superior General. Today the last week of the Chapter starts, and it is such an important day because the election of the Superior General of the Congregation is in the agenda.

The difficult experience of the prophet Jeremiah and the tragic witnessing of John the Baptist have been the center of the homily that Fr. Salvatore Ciranni delivered at the Eucharistic celebration in English. As a whole there was the exhortation to be courageous prophets in the world of today bringing everywhere with the gift of the Gospel the Rogationist charism. At the hall, the reading and the second voting of the draft of the Commission on the general affairs of the Congregation resume. The document is proposed and the integrations were gradually welcomed, enriching the text and making it definitive. Those who were absent were Fr. Carlucci (for health problems) Fr. Amedeo Pascucci, for the death of the mother. In Manila (Philippines) there is the celebration of the funeral of Fr. Giuseppe Aveni attended by Fr. Bruno Rampazzo, superior of the Philippine Delegation, Fr. Jessie Martirizar e Fr. John Lucas. See photos.

Fr. Jacinto Pizzetti of the Latin-American Province presided the Eucharistic celebration today. Referring to the liturgical readings of the day, he underlined our duty, after the example of the prophet Jeremiah, to proclaim the gospel and denounce evil. Further, he exhorted everyone to the comprehension of the importance of drafting and applying the various documents that are being prepared because, in the words of a Brazilian theologian, they require much attention in their preparation but they end up in the shelves of libraries. At the hall the presentation for the second reading of the drafts of the Commissions and the relative definitive voting resume. See photos.

The Rogationist Students of the Latin-American Province - from the various stages of Theology, Philosophy, Novitiate, Practical Training and Propedeutic -  are gathered in Bauru (SP), Brazil, for the annual meetings, since July 27, 2010. The event should be finished by Friday, July 30. They are sending their message to the Chapter Members: 

"United in Bauru, Brazil for the XXIII Meetings of the Rogationist Formators, we would like to express our joy and communion with the Chapter members who, since the beginning of July, have been reflecting and deeply studying the course of our style of Religious Life in the XI General Chapter of our Congregation. The chosen theme on the Rule of Life is very important for us, young persons. For this, we hope that the Chapter Commissions, the reflections and decisions, inspired by the Holy Spirit, may be able to contribute for the renewal and reinvigoration of our way of Being and Living the Rogate. The theme of our XXIII Meeting of Formators is Juventude e Pós-modernidade na Perspectiva do Rogate (Youth and Post-modernism in the Perspective of the Rogate). We would like to contemplate and understand better the reality, the desires and the problems of the world of the young. Our intention is to know better in order to act better. In a similar way, we expect that the XI General Chapter may have a better and greater deepening of the Rule of Life to be able to live it more intensely. It is our yearning to daily live, propagate and pray the Rogate. With the signs of the times, before the challenges of our society, we need to renew the structures, becoming free of the old habits and responding to the present exigencies of evangelization. For us young formators, the General Chapter is a moment of hope, of believing that it is possible to think of a Rogationist Religious Life that is ever new and up-to-date. For this, may the fidelity  to the Rogate, the communion with the Church and the commitment with the most needy be our standard as disciples missionaries of Jesus Christ. Listening to the call of the Spirit, in fidelity to the Word of God and our precious gift, the Rogate, we must build a Rogationist Religious Life that is ever new and operative, for the glory of God and the good of the brothers and sisters who expect our witnessing as committed and faithful to the charism that we inherit from Saint Hannibal Mary. May he, our spiritual father and founder, together with the Virgin Mary, intercede for us."

The Chapter members are grateful for the message and they wish them an excellent meeting.

The Eucharistic celebration starts the new day of the Chapter as usual. Fr. Herman Abcede, superior of the St.Anthony's Boys Village of Silang (Philippines) presides the mass in English. He speaks about the gospel passage on Martha and Mary inviting everyone to consider the identity and the role of us Rogationists as men of prayer and action. At the Hall  the second reading examination and voting of the draft of the first Commission regarding the charismatic identity of the Congregation start. Fr. Matteo Sanavio, secretary, presents the draft. Fathers Rampazzo, Martirizar and Lucas leave for the Philippines to attend the funeral of Fr. Giuseppe Aveni this coming Saturday. In the afternoon some Chapter members arrive at the city of Urbania to participate at the funeral of Mrs. Elena, mother of Fr. Amedeo Pascucci. See photos.

Today Father Santi Scibilia celebrates his 35th birthday anniversary and presides the morning Eucharist. A thousand greetings. Together with Fr. Vinu Velutepilly, he is one of the youngest delegate in the Chapter. In his reflection, basing on the gospel, Fr. Santi, with great simplicity and incisiveness, indicated three precious pearls: the unity among us, perceived in the  great chapter assembly, the capacity for mutual listening, and the Eucharistic adoration, recalling his meeting with Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta in Grottaferrata. He wished that these three elements continue to mark our life in this high-profile institutional and spiritual experience. The day is dedicated to the works in Commissions to be able to gather at the Hall tomorrow with the new drafts and to proceed to the second passage and to the definitive voting. Fr. Amedeo Pascucci and Fr. Gaetano Lo Russo were absent, having been called in their respective families for health problems of their mothers. Fr. Antonio Carlucci, Delegate Superior of the USA, has been confined in bed for some days now due to a nagging sciatica. In the afternoon we come to know of the sad news of the death of Mrs. Elena Tolozzi, mother of Fr. Amedeo Pascucci, which happened around 1:00 P.M., in her house in Urbania. Heartfelt condolences to our confrere and suffrages to Mrs. Elena so that the Lord welcome her in his peace and love, and reward her for the gift of a son priest to Him.

The day opens with the Eucharistic celebration presided by Msgr. Romano Rossi, bishop of Civita Castellana where the House of Morlupo belongs. Today Fr. Vito Curci, superior of the Center of Rogate Spirituality of Morlupo celebrates the 41st anniversary of his sacerdotal ordination. It is a way not only of sharing with the local Church a moment of prayer, but also to emphasize his gratitude to Fr. Curci for the welcome and the service to the Congregation and to the local Church. In his homily, the bishop underlined this last aspect. At the Hall, there is the resumption of the discussion and the voting on the draft of the Commission on the structure and government of the Congregation.

After an introduction by Mr. Bizzotto, Mrs. Milano  presented the synthetic points of the Progetto Culturale del Laicato Rogazionista (Cultural Project of the Lay Rogationists) drafted in the last four years. This is a document that summarizes all the works done and now entrusted to the Rogationists so that it may be integrated with the appeals and contributions that come from various geographic areas and cultural contexts. Several Chapter Members speak and make integrations with their interesting contributions. After the break, the chapter works resume with the continuation of the interrogations and integrations regarding the draft of the Commission of the Structure and Government. The works continue throughout the day. See photos.

The General Chapter is a place of sharing: moments of joy alternate with moments of sorrow. In the evening, the sad news of the death of Mr. Jose Pizzetti, 65, brother of Fr. Jacinto Pizzetti, arrived from Criciuma (Brazil). We  are close to the confrere in this particular moment of sorrow. In the Eucharistic celebration, Fr. Shajan Pazhayil, master of the novices of the Indian Delegation, on the basis of the gospel passage, underlined the importance of remaining well-founded and firm in the Lord, as the branches on the vine.

The Chapter Members take the opportunity to continue the works by commission, or to enjoy some light moments before the resumption of the works Monday afternoon.

Um domingo para descansar, trabalhar e passear... Enquanto alguns capitulares tentam concluir os relatórios a serem apresentados na assembleia, fruto das discussões dos grupos de trabalho, outros foram dar um passeio a cidades próximas. Os religiosos das Filipinas foram a Napoli; os da Província Latino-americana foram a Cássia, cidade de Santa Rita.

Ontem, no segundo jogo de futsal deste Capítulo, o time do Brasil venceu novamente o resto do mundo. E de uma forma mais tranquila: 13 x 9. As equipes entraram desfalcadas e jogaram desta forma: BRASIL: Angelo, Jonas, Juarez, Valmir e Wadislau. RESTO DO MUNDO: Matteo, Rosario, Santi, Shajan e Vinu.

Um sábado de trabalhos de comissões... Um sábado para a revanche do time do resto do mundo no futebol de salão, diante do time do Brasil. No sábado passado, na primeira partida de futsal deste Capítulo Geral, o time do Brasil venceu por 8 x 7. Uma partida equilibrada, principalmente no segundo tempo, quando a equipe do Brasil parece ter cansado, sentindo a falta de ritmo de jogo (após uma semana de trabalhos). A partida está marcada para as 18h30. No time do Brasil, o defensor Toninho está machucado e deverá desfalcar a equipe. Wadilslau, que chegou da Polônia no início da semana, deverá entrar em seu lugar. O time provavelmente será escalado com Ademar (goleiro), Jonas, Wadislau, Angelo, Valmir e Juarez. O resto do mundo deverá vir com Francesco, Rosario, Gaetano, Matteo, Shajan, Vinu e Nilo.

Fr. Luigi Toffanin, superior of the Indian Delegation is celebrating today 33 years of his sacerdotal ordination.  He presides the celebration of the  Eucharist in the morning which starts a new day of the Chapter. The works by Commissions continue at a good rhythm that may bode some change in the schedule.

The day opens with the Holy Mass in Italian presided by Fr. Ciro Fontanella, econome of the Italian Center-South Province, who  is celebrating his 31st sacerdotal anniversary today. With him as concelebrants were Fr. Silvano Pinato, superior of the Italian Center-North Province, who is celebrating his 65th birthday anniversary, and Fr. Pietro Cifuni. The whole day is dedicated to the work of the Commissions, while the outgoing Government prepares the written and conclusive response to the various interrogations.

Fr. Cesare Bettoni of the Philippine Delegation who is celebrating his 57th birthday anniversary today  presides the Eucharistic celebration in English, thus opening a new day for the Chapter. It is interesting to note that every celebration brings with it proper characteristics  of the geographical and environmental locations where the Chapter Members come from, manifested not only in the use of the language but also in the set of the songs used. In the Chapter Hall, the President, considering the interrogations made yesterday, proposes a scheme for the accomplishment of the works. It requires the constitution of Commissions (one for the general issues and five for the analysis of the Rules) and the  execution of the work in two stages. For the first part of the work in the Chapter Hall, about an hour will be dedicated to listen to some Representatives of the Lay Rogationists. Today and tomorrow, the outgoing general Government provides the response to the interrogations of the Assembly. This will take place in the Chapter Hall on Friday, July 16.  In the afternoon the work of the Commissions start. Every Commission, according to the standard procedure, chooses a President and a Secretary.

Se na Copa da África do Sul a Espanha foi campeã, vencendo a Holanda por 1 x 0 na prorrogação, no primeiro jogo realizado durante este Capítulo Geral, de futebol de salão, o vencedor foi o Brasil. O time formado por religiosos brasileiros bateu o selecionado das outras partes do mundo pelo placar apertado de 8 x 7. O time do resto do mundo "deu o próprio sangue", mas não conseguiu vencer aos canarinhos...

After the weekend break, the works of the Chapter resume. The morning is dedicated to personal study on the part of the Chapter Members with regard to the report of the outgoing Government.

Giovanni Guarino (educational-charitable and poor apostolate), Fr. Sardone Angelo (youth and vocational pastoral ministry, lay Rogationist and parishes) alternated in the presentation of the prepared text. This is the conclusive document of the outgoing General Government who thus intends to bequeath the Congregation to the next Superior General.

After the very beautiful Roman parenthesis the normal flow of the General Chapter resumes. Scheduled for today is the reading of the Report of the outgoing Government. The report consists of two parts: first, on the state of the personnel and on discipline; second, on the administrative state of the Congregation, prepared by the general econome and signed by the Superior General and the Council. The Superior General Fr. Giorgio Nalin is the first to read, then, in view of intervention related to his competences, gives the floor to the general vicar Fr. Antonio Fiorenza for what regards the sector of the religious life and formation. The climate is very peaceful and fraternal. In the evening, presented by the President of the Chapter, on the request of the outgoing Presidents of the UAR, the chapter assembly accepted the request to present to the Chapter the synthetic lines of the Cultural Plan of the Lay Rogationists elaborated in the course of the past years by the UAR.

July 7, 2010: A date and an event that becomes part of the History of the Church and the annals of the Family of the Rogate: the Holy Father Benedict XVI inaugurated and blessed the statue of Saint Hannibal Mary Di Francia in the first niche outside the Basilica of Saint Peter at the Square of the Roman Protomartyrs. A work of five years concluded with the realization of a magnificent statue in white marble of Carrara, work of the Roman master Giuseppe Ducrot.
