As pilgrims on the eve of the Jubilee Year 2025, as sons and daughters of St. Hannibal Mary Di Francia, who always lived with our minds and hearts turned toward the Lord, especially today, we are called to revive our prayer. One learns to pray by praying, but listening to the Word of God and witnessing to people who pray is a fundamental help.

The paragraph quoted from the Vatican Il's decree on the renewal of religious life Perfectae Caritatis has "Com-mon life" for its title, but it introduces the topic by speaking of life in common." It is a way of making it clear, right from the start, that it is not a question of adapting to a common life for all, as has sometimes been understood in the past, but rather, of inserting one's own life "in common with that of the brothers" , each one preserving the gift of his own originality, but sharing it in the communion of life.

In his well-known self-culogy, Father Hannibal could not help but confess that the Rogate was the passion of his life: "For the Rogate, we say nothing: he dedicated himself to it, cither out of zeal or by fixation, or both." He discovered the Rogate as a teenager and, over the years, he progressively confirmed that his existence was marked by this resource idea.
