ITALIA [TORINO], FRANCIA, PHILIPPINES -- DRYING MARY'S TEARS

Mamma Maria Sconsolata 

Antonella

October 15 was a very busy day in the La Salette Lay Associate  world.


The La Salette Lay Associates of Italy held their meeting in Torino, headed by Antonella Portinaro.  This is she in Melanie's house.
She is a dedicated and dynamic leader (Mother Superior/Abbess?) of the Lay Associates attached to the Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette.  The communities with which she is involved are heavily dedicated to prayer in community.  They began with very few people, but have grown considerably over time.  This community is comprised of three groups, one in Torino, where Antonella resides and works, Roma and Napoli.  The picture above is a product of the community in Torino while the one that is seen below is from Roma.  The one above has been a meaningful depiction of the message of Our Lady at La Salette who warned us about not paying attention to the moral directions that her Son, Jesus had left for us to follow.  When this picture appears with others, it usually comes out as a strong favorite among viewers.  Before I insert this message in another language, let me include the message that Antonella herself sends to all of us, as of my receiving it last night.


Dear Paul,
Thanks for your nice words and for your prayers that I feel that accompany me forever!
Saturday 15 meeting with the lay of Turin went very well, the people present were very interested in everything I said and many have asked me to have the material I have presented, I now expect the meeting with the laity Rome and Naples on 26-27 November!!
It would be very happy if you write the news of Italy on your blog, for us it would be really nice!  [Much obliged, Antonella! ;-)]
We also send the video we did with the photos of Internacional meeting, the vision of this movie has concluded the meeting with the laity in Turin and all like it very much!
I remember you and always think of you with affection,
antonella

Elle est une dirigeante dévoué et dynamique (la mère supérieure / abbesse?) des laïcs associés attachés aux Missionnaires de Notre-Dame de La Salette. Les communautés avec lesquelles elle est impliquée sont fortement consacrée à la prière en communauté. Ils ont commencé avec très peu de gens, mais ont augmenté considérablement au fil du temps. Cette communauté, composée de trois groupes, l'un à Turin, où Antonella réside et travaille, Roma et Napoli. La photo ci-dessus est un produit de la communauté à Turin tout en celui qui est en vu ci-dessous est de la communaute a Roma. Celui en haut est une représentation significative du message de Notre-Dame de La Salette, qui nous avertit de prêter attention à la direction morale que son Fils, Jésus nous a laissee.  Lorsque cette image apparaît avec d'autres, il s'agit en général qu'elle devient la favorite parmi les admirateurs.

Ella es una dirigente dedicada y dinámica (la Madre Superiora / abadesa?) De los laicos asociados unido a los Misioneros de Nuestra Señora de La Salette. Las comunidades con las quales está involucrada es son gran medida dedicadas a la oración en comunidad. Empezaron con muy pocas personas, pero han crecido considerablemente con el tiempo. Esta comunidad, compuesta por tres grupos, uno en Turín, donde reside y trabaja Antonella, Roma y Nápoles. La imagen de arriba es un producto de la comunidad en Torino, mientras que el que se ve a continuación es de Roma. La de arriba ha sido una representación significativa del mensaje de Nuestra Señora de La Salette, que nos advirtió acerca de prestar atención a las instrucciones morales que su Hijo, Jesús había dejado para que las sigamos. Cuando esta imagen aparece con las demás, por lo general sale como una de las favoritas entre los miradores.
