On the occasion of the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus, Rev Fr Giorgio Nalin, RCJ, Superior General of the Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus presided over the celebration of the Great Supplica in Fr Di Francia Center of Studies which was attended by many confreres from various communities. Among the communities that participated in the celebration were Fr Hannibal Formation Center, Delegation House, Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish, St Hannibal Empowerment Center, and St Anthony’s Boys Village. Some members of the Union of Prayer for Vocations also joined on this moment of prayer.
The celebration of Supplica which is one of the most meaningful moments of the Rogationist prayer, has been practiced for more two hundred years ago as part of the spiritual industries of St Hannibal Mary Francia given to the entire Family of the Rogate. Every January 31, a day consecrated to the Solemn Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus, all Rogationist houses make memory of the all benefits received from God as well as humbly present special petitions to Him through the Name of Jesus. In the same way, it is a concrete expression of God’s perennial providence to the Rogationists like a “small caravan” journeying in the whole world which started from Avignone.
