Il est n\u00e9 \u00e0 Nizza Monferrato le 5 juillet 1846 et est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 Turin le 22 novembre 1911. Pendant 47 ans, il a travaill\u00e9 pour les Chemins de fer italiens, d\u2019abord \u00e0 Pinerolo puis, comme chef de bureau, \u00e0 Turin Porta Nuova.<\/p>\n
C\u2019\u00e9tait un la\u00efc chr\u00e9tien profond\u00e9ment d\u00e9vou\u00e9 au bien, et de ce fait, sa vie ne fut pas sans difficult\u00e9s. Profond\u00e9ment attach\u00e9 au Saint-Sacrement, il promut l\u2019Adoration quotidienne en Italie et dans le monde entier. Aujourd\u2019hui encore, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9glise Saint-Thomas-l\u2019Ap\u00f4tre, au c\u0153ur historique de Turin, l\u2019Archiconfraternit\u00e9 de l\u2019Adoration quotidienne perp\u00e9tuelle universelle de J\u00e9sus au Saint-Sacrement \u2013 dont il fut le premier pr\u00e9sident \u2013 est toujours active.<\/p>\n
En tant que tertiaire franciscain, il se consacra \u00e0 la diffusion des principes de Rerum Novarum <\/em>dans le monde du travail. Ami des pauvres, il se portait inlassablement au secours de tous ceux qui s\u2019adressaient \u00e0 lui pour obtenir aide et r\u00e9confort. Sa d\u00e9cision de rejoindre l\u2019Ordre franciscain s\u00e9culier n\u2019\u00e9tait pas le fruit du hasard\u00a0; elle l\u2019influen\u00e7a profond\u00e9ment, le guidant sur la voie d\u2019une \u00ab\u00a0minorit\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb authentique et engag\u00e9e, en qu\u00eate de cette \u00ab\u00a0joie parfaite\u00a0\u00bb qui fit de lui un v\u00e9ritable disciple du saint d\u2019Assise. Son int\u00e9gration au sein du la\u00efcat catholique de Turin, durant la seconde moiti\u00e9 du XIXe si\u00e8cle, contribua \u00e0 l\u2019essor d\u2019initiatives novatrices visant \u00e0 promouvoir des solutions audacieuses et adapt\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque, dans l\u2019esprit de cette \u00ab\u00a0imagination de la charit\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb que le pape Jean-Paul II chercha \u00e0 mettre en lumi\u00e8re au d\u00e9but du troisi\u00e8me mill\u00e9naire chr\u00e9tien.<\/p>\n Journaliste \u00e0 une \u00e9poque o\u00f9 la franc-ma\u00e7onnerie \u00e9tait dominante, il d\u00e9fendit l\u2019\u00c9glise et la papaut\u00e9 par ses \u00e9crits et ses prises de parole, t\u00e9moignant de sa foi avec une constance courageuse. Dans le contexte de l\u2019\u00e9poque, son engagement public en tant que catholique militant \u00e9tait consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme une faute impardonnable.<\/p>\n Il pla\u00e7ait toute sa confiance en Marie, v\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9e comme la Grande M\u00e8re de Dieu. Sa d\u00e9votion mariale l\u2019amena \u00e0 organiser le congr\u00e8s marial historique de Turin en 1898, ainsi qu\u2019\u00e0 \u00e9crire des ouvrages sur le sujet. Sa d\u00e9pouille, transf\u00e9r\u00e9e de Nizza Monferrato \u00e0 Turin le 19 mars 1953, repose dans l\u2019\u00e9glise paroissiale Saint-Thomas.<\/p>\n La figure aux multiples facettes du V\u00e9n\u00e9rable Paolo Pio Perazzo, connu comme le \u00ab\u00a0saint homme du chemin de fer\u00a0\u00bb, nous offre le t\u00e9moignage exemplaire de celui qui, guid\u00e9 par l\u2019\u00c9vangile et dans l\u2019esprit franciscain, a parcouru le chemin de la saintet\u00e9 et de l\u2019apostolat.<\/p>\n La r\u00e9putation de saintet\u00e9 qui a toujours accompagn\u00e9 sa m\u00e9moire a \u00e9t\u00e9 unanimement confirm\u00e9e par ceux qui, l\u2019ayant connu personnellement, en ont t\u00e9moign\u00e9 lors des proc\u00e8s canoniques. De plus, cette r\u00e9putation a re\u00e7u une reconnaissance formelle et faisant autorit\u00e9 dans le d\u00e9cret du 6 avril 1998, par lequel le Saint-P\u00e8re Jean-Paul II a officiellement reconnu l\u2019exercice h\u00e9ro\u00efque des vertus th\u00e9ologales et morales par Perazzo.<\/p>\n Son exemple nous rappelle que le chemin de la saintet\u00e9 par l\u2019amour et le service est ouvert \u00e0 tous les fid\u00e8les, car il est une composante essentielle de la vie chr\u00e9tienne. En effet, un saint n\u2019est pas n\u00e9cessairement celui qui accomplit des actes extraordinaires, mais plut\u00f4t celui qui, par l\u2019esprit vivifiant de l\u2019\u00c9vangile, donne un sens extraordinaire \u00e0 sa vie quotidienne. C\u2019est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment pour cette raison qu\u2019il peut \u00eatre compt\u00e9 parmi les pr\u00e9curseurs qui, proph\u00e9tiquement, ont anticip\u00e9 la compr\u00e9hension plus claire et plus profonde que l\u2019\u00c9glise a aujourd\u2019hui de la vocation la\u00efque, de son identit\u00e9, de sa dignit\u00e9 et de sa mission.<\/p>\n \n Source\u00a0:<\/em><\/p>\n https:\/\/ofspiemonte.it\/paolo-pio-perazzo\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Il est n\u00e9 \u00e0 Nizza Monferrato le 5 juillet 1846 et est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 Turin le 22 novembre 1911.
