Just like the famous beggar-saint, Brother Giuseppe goes every day as a pilgrim from church to church. He lights a candle, collects holy cards and recites rosaries. But he also goes up and down Italy to visit the families of missionaries. And when the missionaries leave, he has for each of them a little image of a saint, attached some green United States cash. He remembers by name everyone that he meets.

In the evening, when we go to bed, he begins to walk back and forth in the chapel into the wee hours of the night and who knows what they discuss, he and his Madonna of Good Counsel (in front of whose image he always lights a candle and places flowers) and the Blessed Sacrament.

He hears us perfectly without the need of a hearing aid; he also hears what he should not hear and he pretends to not hear what he does not want to hear. He sees very well without glasses and he sees what he should not see and pretends to not see what he does not want to see.

This faithful guardian of the house where he began to live 65 years ago, even before it was officially open, on 24 February 2015, celebrated 95 years of life. Ad multos annos!
