A Coming Chastisement: Our Lady’s Warnings to Servant of God Fr. Stefano Gobbi (Joanne Wright) - 11/13/24

11/13/24 - Fr. Stefano Gobbi was born in Dongo (province of Como, Italy) on March 22, 1930. He was ordained a priest in 1964 and belonged to the Company of Saint Paul. The focal point of his life occurred on May 8, 1972 during a pilgrimage to Fatima. While praying at the "Capelinha", the Chapel of the Apparitions, the Virgin Mary distinctly spoke to him in the form of what Christian spiritual theology defines as "interior locutions." Mary invited him to gather together his brother priests who would welcome the idea of ​​consecrating themselves to Her Immaculate Heart, and of being deeply united with the Holy Father and the Church united to him. Fr. Gobbi asked Our Lady for a sign confirming this request, a sign which he received that same month at the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth. On October 13, 1972, he and two other priests launched the MMP (Marian Movement of Priests), which has spread to the five continents and has seen Fr. Gobbi travel the whole world for meetings of prayer and fraternity called "cenacles".
