ST LOUIS; ST JOSEPH CALASANZ, PRIEST
OF THE DAY
2 Thes 1: 1-5, 11-12
Ps 96: 1-5
Mt 23: 13-22

I must say that for four years Fr. Tito Armani and Fr. Desiderio Costa, who were soon joined by Fr. domenico Amvrosio and by Fr. Paolo Marcellino, were the most generous and intelligent in the Pauline life. Truly the Holy Spirit worked in their souls. Those were the years when only faith and love for God sustained those first sons of Saint Paul (AD 215).

From Father Tom: The Founder here lauds some of the very early young helpers. Fr. Tito was Superior in my Novitiate after spending many years in Argentina. Fr. Costa was the Founder of the Pauline house in Spain--I met him briefly one day when he was gassing  his car. I also met Fr. Marcellino briefly--he was the Founder in Japan and Korea
