MONSIGNOR ANTONELLI
His Eminence Cardinal Ennio Antonelli, when he was
Archbishop of Perugia-Città della Pieve had an important role in the prophetic
ministry of Marcello Ezekiel Ciai. One can read about it in a chapter of the
recently published book "The bag with 10 sheaves", of which we report here some
parts.
ON THE 10TH DAY OF THE 3RD MONTH OF THE YEAR 1995 AT GAICHE, THE LAND OF
BLESSED LEOPOLD, IN THE DIOCESE OF PERUGIA, MARCELLO CIAI FELT ILL *1.
After this period Monsignor Ennio Antonelli
(*1), then eminent Archbishop of Perugia –
Città delle Pieve, sent gifts to Marcello.
His daughter Mascia Amanda went to
inform the Archbishop of the serious illness of her father, who was on retreat
at Gaiche.
Monsignor Antonelli thus sent a priest with his blessing to Marcello on the 5th
day of the 5th month of the year 1995.

*2 On that disease and the long hospitalizatiion Marcello wrote
this moving " Canticle ":
By day a pain in my heart
at night a sirene.
My heart stood still
At the weight of the mantle
Twice visited upon me.
I try with my eyes to look upwards.
The sky is dark,
There aren’t even any stars,
And the moon is far away.
All the sufferings of the world
Did not succeed in entering my heart,
which has burst.
My tent has been pulled off.
What will happen to the sheep ?
On them all the evil rests.
The moon turns red,
The sun turns pale,
The earth staggers like a drunk.
I cry like a swallow
and trill like a dove.
My eyes are weary of looking up.
I say to my doctor :
“Each one of us has a vocation,
You, for the healing of bodies,
Me, for the healing of souls.
You find the body in
The silence of a room;
The soul, I look for it
In the uproar ……….
Where they slaughter the oxen
And they cut the throats of the herd.
They eat meat
and get drunk on wine.
I look for it, I look for it
But I don’t find it.
And when I find it
I lose it.
My heart beats strongly.
Then it stops”.
