LA PREGHIERA DELLA MESSA DI SAN PROCOLO A FIRENZE

SCRITTA DA GIORGIO LA PIRA E DA ALCUNI FRATELLI

A LUI VICINI (FRA LORO FIORETTA MAZZEI)


ignor mio Gesł Cristo, che morendo in croce, hai dato la vita al mondo, liberami, per questo sacrosanto Corpo e Sangue Tuo, da tutte le mie colpe e da tutti i mali. Fa' che io sia sempre fedele ai tuoi comandamenti, e non permettere che io mi allontani da Te.

O buon Gesł io Ti raccomando, tutti coloro che piangono e soffrono, a tutti quelli che fanno piangere e soffrire. Ti raccomando i fanciulli abbandonati, la giovenł nello scandalo e nel pericolo, la vecchiaia nel bisogno, tutti coloro che soffrono nella povertą.

Ti raccomando chi piange la morte dei suoi cari, chi cerca lavoro e non lo trova, che soffre nella solitudine. Gli ammalati, gli handicappati, le vittime della droga e dell'alcool, i carcerati, i deportati, gli immigrati, gli oppressi, coloro che sono in guerra, i profughi. Confortali, O Signore, aiutali, benedicili. Ti raccomando la nostra terra. Ti raccomando il Papa, i Vescovi, i sacerdoti, le suore, i missionari, le famiglie. Ti raccomando quelli che ancora non ti conoscono e tutti coloro che sono lontani dalla Chiesa. Forma, O Signore, un solo ovile, con un solo pastore.


Pietro Parigi's drawings of the Mass for the Poor, the Badia, Florence


he Mayor of Florence, Giorgio La Pira, and his friend, Fioretta Mazzei, started and continued the Republic of San Procolo amongst Florence's Poor. Each Sunday Mass, this proud poor Republic in Florence's midst prays for the Pope.

This is their prayer:

y Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross, You have given life to the world, free me, through this Your sacred Body and Blood, from all my sins and from all evil. Make me be always true to Your commandments, and do not allow me to draw away from You.

O good Jesus, I commend to you, all those who weep and suffer, and all those who make them weep and suffer. I commend to you the abandoned children, youths in scandal and peril, the old in need, all those who suffer in poverty.

I commend to You those weeping the death of their beloved, those who seek work and do not find it, who suffer in loneliness. The ill, the handicapped, the victims of drugs and alcohol, the prisoners, the exiles, the immigrants, the oppressed, those in war, the refugees. Comfort them, O Lord, help them, bless them. I commend to You our earth. I commend to You the Pope, the Bishops, the priests, the sisters, the missionaries, the families. I commend to You those who do not yet know You and all those who are far from the Church. Shape, O Lord, but one sheepfold, under one shepherd only.
