We are beyond blessed as they will be joining us online from the holy room of Luisa Piccarreta, where Our Lord gave her most of the Volumes in the Book of Heaven and where the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered. It is providential that this grace comes between the commemoration of Luisa’s passing to Heaven on 4 March and the celebration of her birth on 23 April. Both Enza and Antonella will share stories and testimonies of how Luisa continues to touch lives. In the second session, we will be honoured and blessed to welcome Fr. Gabriel Marie Tchonang for the second time, joining us online from Strasbourg, France. He will enrich us with his teaching on growth in the Gift of the Divine Will through our repeated acts. ------------ Short biographies of our guests: Fr.
