Italy is a country that lives on continuous miracles. And the Italians are a people of poets that no one reads, of artists that everyone would like to be, of heroes in spite of ourselves, of navigators, and ultimately of flotilleros, and of saints. Italians are practical people with a healthy inclination towards recommendations. They adore few things more than saints. A Republic of the Sanctum Rosarium.
We are so devoted to the saints that one a day is not enough. We would like two. And in fact yesterday it happened that President Mattarella promulgated the law on the national holiday of Saint Francis, and this is good, Ora pro eo, but noting some critical aspects. In fact, it turned out that October 4th is already the feast of Saint Catherine of Siena. Now for ea.
We don’t allow ourselves to get involved in Mattarella’s decisions – he jokes with the saints but leaves the greats alone, however, in addition to hoping for gender equality even for national holidays – many saints, many saints, all saints, we humbly propose, alongside the religious one, a secular bipartisan calendar. Orate pro nobis. And even some sea bass.
Examples. Saint Frances of Hamas, patroness of military organizations. Saint Ilaria of Salis, protector of the occupied house. Soum Ahoro, protector of luxury. Saint Stephen Massini martyr.
Saint Maurice, patron saint of non-workers. Sal Vini apostle, protector of Italy; of the north. Saint Helena Ethel Schlein, invoked against tongue diseases. And Saint Giorgia, patroness, homeland and family. Pray for us.
We need it.
