ADP-VV groups of prayer...
Why these new ADP - VV Prayer Groups? That is, why these Groups called the Allies of the Little Friars and Nuns of Jesus and Mary? (the answer is under the following pictures)...
How to create an ADP-VV Group of Prayer
These new ADP VV Prayer Groups, as our founder said in a certain way one day in a radio interview in Rome (at Radio Mater): "were born - taking a little cue from St. Francis of Assisi - when many lay people (seeing this life so purely evangelical, in all respects...) said to St. Francis of Assisi - as they also say to me and mine today - "but today, how is it that we can we live out this lifestyle of yours, which is so poor and so difficult?" – "Don't worry," St. Francis replied, "there is room for you too!", then he thought, well inspired, to create the so-called Franciscan Third Order, in which the many lay people fascinated by his lifestyle could draw from this wonderful purely evangelical Spirituality.
So also in my case, Our Lady made me understand in a certain way, together with those close to me, over and over again repeatedly, through many requests (of many families, and of many people), that there was a need for this, that is, to allow many to join us, as was and is the desire of many. So, we all prayed together, to understand what to do concretely. And so here too, we began to work on satisfying this other spiritual need, and immediately started with the first Prayer Group, and it was a continuous explosion of grace, since, in just a few years, we went from zero to countless prayer groups throughout Italy and beyond... all members (cf. Registration form, below), and all who have already promised to strive to go assiduously to the Sacraments (especially Holy Confession and the Holy Eucharist on Sundays), as well as to strive to pray the Holy Meditated Rosary once a week in groups, and also to strive to do good works, as far as they are able (including helping us in our great work of Evangelization"...)", all in the constant prayer that the Lord will send us many other workers, to care for the many and abundant fruits that make the good tree known (cf. Lk 6:44), because the harvest is becoming always more abundant, and in relation to this the laborers are always few! We thank Heaven, however, for all those (totally consecrated) who are beautiful and young, as Sacred Scripture says: "The gift of the Lord are children, and his grace the fruit of the womb. Like arrows in the hands of a hero are the children of youth" (Ps 126:3-4), because with their very young, purely evangelical life (which desires to reach Holiness at any cost – cf. 1 Thess 4:3a), they cut to the heart, making inroads everywhere, often even in the hardest places! We give thanks especially for the weapon of Prayer that Mary of Fatima gave to all spiritual children, saying:
Do you want to offer Prayers and Sacrifices for the conversion of sinners? Look, many souls go to hell because there is no one to sacrifice and intercede for them!» (cf. Fatima 19.8.1917)
Regarding our ADP-VV Prayer Groups, the V.V. Rule says:
<< as for anyone who -- in one way or another touched by the Spirit -- would concretely like to be part of our V.V. Prayer groups called by us "THE ALLIES OF THE LITTLE ONES", first explain to him how the already existing groups work, and then, given his insistence or interest in Prayer, let him fill out the form-sheet (clickable here) with simplicity and explicit freedom, where in a few words everything is explained, including the organization of the individual groups, and even before that, the simple Promises to be made to Mary, Mother of Jesus, for the Greater Glory of God and the Salvation of the greatest number of souls possible, Aim and Eternal Crown of our Faith>> (cf. 1Pt 1:9). Amen!
