Un couple italien de franciscains s\u00e9culiers qui ont \u00e9lev\u00e9 10 enfants a \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnu comme v\u00e9n\u00e9rable par le pape Fran\u00e7ois. Les Bernardini sont le troisi\u00e8me couple mari\u00e9 de l\u2019histoire de l\u2019\u00c9glise \u00e0 recevoir ce titre (ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9s par le bienheureux Luigi et la bienheureuse Maria Beltrame et Saint-Louis et Sainte-Z\u00e9lie Martin).<\/p>\n

Huit des enfants Bernardini sont devenus religieuses ou pr\u00eatres, dont l\u2019archev\u00eaque Giuseppe Bernardini d\u2019Izmir en Turquie (d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 le 3 d\u00e9cembre 2023).<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 dans le centre de l\u2019Italie pr\u00e8s de Mod\u00e8ne en 1882, Sergio Bernardini perd son p\u00e8re, sa m\u00e8re, son fr\u00e8re, sa premi\u00e8re femme et leurs trois jeunes enfants sur une p\u00e9riode de quelques mois en 1912. Esp\u00e9rant \u00e9viter des souvenirs douloureux, il a immigr\u00e9 aux \u00c9tats-Unis et a trouv\u00e9 du travail comme mineur. Cependant, il est retourn\u00e9 en Italie apr\u00e8s seulement un an parce que, dit-il, il craignait que la vie dans une mine lui fasse perdre sa foi en Christ.<\/p>\n

Il tomba amoureux de Domenica et ils se mari\u00e8rent en 1914 et eurent 10 enfants. C\u2019\u00e9taient des agriculteurs pauvres, mais g\u00e9n\u00e9reux envers quiconque cherchait de la nourriture ou du r\u00e9confort, en particulier pendant les difficult\u00e9s de la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale.<\/p>\n

Non seulement six de leurs huit filles sont devenues religieuses et les deux fils pr\u00eatres capucins, mais lorsque Sergio a pris sa retraite, lui et sa femme ont \u00ab\u00a0adopt\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb un s\u00e9minariste nig\u00e9rian \u2013 payant ses \u00e9tudes sacerdotales \u00e0 Rome avec leur modeste pension. Aujourd\u2019hui, ce s\u00e9minariste est l\u2019archev\u00eaque \u00e0 la retraite Felix Alaba Job d\u2019Ibadan, au Nig\u00e9ria, qui \u00e9tait co-cons\u00e9crateur lors de l\u2019ordination \u00e9piscopale de l\u2019archev\u00eaque Bernardini en 1983.<\/p>\n

Sergio est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 en 1966 et Domenica en 1971. Dans son t\u00e9moignage spirituel, elle a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que tout la conduisait \u00e0 Dieu \u2013 m\u00eame en \u00ab\u00a0embrassant une rose, j\u2019embrasse la beaut\u00e9 de Dieu\u00a0\u00bb. Elle a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que ses enfants \u00e9taient \u00ab\u00a0ma couronne et mon tr\u00e9sor\u00a0\u00bb et qu\u2019elle souhaitait trouver un moyen d\u2019exprimer \u00e0 quel point c\u2019\u00e9tait un grand cadeau d\u2019avoir autant d\u2019enfants et de vocations dans la famille. Elle a pri\u00e9 pour qu\u2019ils deviennent des saints et \u00ab\u00a0soient une force pour le bien dans le monde\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Le pape Fran\u00e7ois a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que les Bernardini sont un exemple pour tous les chr\u00e9tiens quant \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re de vivre les vertus \u00e0 un degr\u00e9 h\u00e9ro\u00efque dans le contexte de la vie conjugale et qu\u2019ils sont avant tout des mod\u00e8les sur la mani\u00e8re d\u2019\u00e9duquer ses enfants de mani\u00e8re chr\u00e9tienne.<\/p>\n

La vie de Sergio et Domenica Bernardini, tous deux bien connus \u00e0 travers l\u2019Italie se caract\u00e9risait par le travail acharn\u00e9 dans les champs, la pratique des vertus familiales et surtout l\u2019\u00e9ducation chr\u00e9tienne de ses nombreuses prog\u00e9nitures.<\/p>\n
