Italian Family Report for February 1973

Both in Rome and Milan, we are working very hard to distribute the first chapter and the whole book in the streets, at the universities, at the high schools and everywhere we can find people. As time passes, we reach an increasing capacity in this task and the average of sales increases. With this sort of witnessing, many people are coming to listen to us, also we are affixing big invitations on the walls of the university.

In those last weeks many people have reached the conclusion and we are praying deeply to have new brothers and sisters in the centers. To this end we have established a 120-day indemnity of prayer, fasting, and study.

We are now starting a new way of witnessing and some newspapers are being interested in us. Other Christian groups are being contacted and we hope to find people even there.

In Rome, a journalist of the main newspaper “Il Messaggero” has written a small article on us. He has been impressed by our witnessing literature and he called us “The Optimists of the Future.” Even if the article was small, it has introduced our movement in a good way. The result of this was that many people phoned and came to listen to us.

Even if it is difficult to reach the heart of the people here in Italy, having to face the Vatican and the strength of the Communists, we are sure that following the way indicated by our Master, we shall be able to build a big family for which he has longed for 6,000 years. Our sincere hope is that the light of God can expand rapidly in this world.
