Sant’ Elena will be my reference point for the coming three months. It is a small but beautiful place in the province of Macerata close to S. Severino. Parishioners are not many, I can count them on finger tips, but mind you, they are very warm and affectionate people. What’s going to take my attention is the ministry of the Parish Priest, Padre Celestino, a Franciscan Friar. He is actively involved in the ministry of healing and exorcism. A small little parish church is filled to its capacity every Monday of the week and every first Friday and third Sunday of the month. They rest of the time is spent visiting people and visited. For Padre Celestino, almost every day the day ends on the next day. I don’t remember any day going out with him in the evening and returning back home before 02.00 a.m. The rest is obvious.

Hi, You are so Couragious. I like the way you expressed and put it "...the day ends on the next day". That is too demanding for such a frail and fragile human like me. Keep up and not let your sleep bound you, otherwise... one more soul to heal for padre Celestino
