Franciscan Imitates St. Francis, Rebuilds Church All Alone for Fifty Years
Editor: Franciscans are "friars" not monks.

God Willed It

The unbelievable story of Father Pietro Lavini: From 1954 to 2003 he rebuilt a monastery completely alone, in an untraveled mountain area in the Apennines.

Montemonaco (kath.net) In the spring of 1954 Father Pietro disappeared without a trace from his Cloister to rebuild a ruined Monastery in the Apennines Mountains. In the summer of 2003 the Bishop of Father Pietro received a letter with the sentence: "The Monastery is finished."

Andreas Englisch told the story of the Italian priest in his book "Traces of God: Miracles of the Catholic Church". Englisch had also related this story to the Hamburg evening news.

He must have had some contact with the Church because his altar is built of stone and because of the location of the tabernacle it can't be used to say the traditional Mass.

Beautiful, beautiful. Thanks AB.

I love this friar. His eyes tell me all I need to know. Adorable servant of God.
