Recognition of a miracle attributed to Venerable Arsenio of Trigolo

“On January 20, 2017, Pope Francis received in audience His Eminence Cardinal Angelo Amato, SDB, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. During the audience the Supreme Pontiff authorized the Congregation to publish the decree regarding the miracle attributed to the intercession of Venerable Arsenio of Trigolo (in the world: Giuseppe Migliavacca), religious priest of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, founder of the Congregation of the Sisters of Mary Most Holy Consolatrix; born June 13, 1849 and died December 10, 1909.”

So reports the Bulletin of the Holy See Press Office. The Order is thus enriched with a new blessed. The news was anticipated, with the Cardinals approving the miracle in their ordinary session on January 17, 2017, but at the same time was a surprise as four days had passed since the meeting. We cannot but show our thanks to the Lord and those who have prayed and worked for this moment.

There are still, however, some things to do. The commission for the beatification, made up of certain friars from the Province of Lombardy and sisters of Mary Most Holy Consolatrix, has been charged with setting up whatever is necessary for the celebration, which could take place in Milan by the end of September 2017.
