THE STRONGHOLD
Sheaf 8
The first month of the year 1986, Marcello Ciai went to the top of a mountain, far away from his family and community.

(Note) The name of the parish priest has been removed at the request of the same.
So Marcello was closed up between the doors of his community; the Spirit left him dumb for ten years, He would be sanctified in the guidance of the souls God committed to him.
"These men of God, who do nothing else with their desire but just run along the lobby from door to door ? It so happens that they are forced to accept the pastoral ministry and get involved in the governance of souls. They then are flung here and there by way of their great tribulations and the upset in their hearts, and progress each day in their search for perfection."(*3)
This is the way in which the "Community Famiglie di Betlemme" (Bethlehem Families) was founded - "Consecrated monastic" families, called to live under monastic family rules, inspired to Saint Benedict and Saint Bruno, respecting poverty, the total community of goods and the exercise of work within the community.
