Samuel Di Lorenzo, born October 26, 2005

"Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to look for the path, and to take you to the place that I have prepared." Exodus 23:20

Samuel is three and we give glory to God, remembering His promise:

Like all young couples, we too, when we were united in marriage by God in 2000, we thought that a child was the result of the manifestation of our love. For most of us had already been prophesied since we were engaged and also in the same day that the man of God, our Shepherd beloved frat. Salvatore Fiorino, has been married to the presence of the Church and our Lord Jesus
Only now recognize that God had given us a special and extraordinary blessing that was obtained after a period characterized by long and deep valleys of tears and suffering. Five years have elapsed, during which the pastor frat. Salvatore Fiorino there has been close with tender love and great spirit of empathy, not making us never miss the comfort, encouragement and the necessary forces and blessed not to forget "the promises of God given through the holy lips of His servants the prophets . Even the beloved frat. Joseph Antonelli (up to 2003, our conductor the work of God in St. Apollinaire), there was near doing its part in the Lord.
In a visit that my wife was subjected to mid-January 2005, Dr. Monica had told her that his condition would have been impossible to conceive. I thank the Lord for the way they used just such a young and humble doctor for us and as she recognized the Divine intervention in our lives. It was in that expression that we found a strong inspiration of faith, responding to the God to whom we serve with love is just the God of the impossible! Alleluia! So, with all the human problems (ovaries that did not work, heavy infections occurring) God has done once again for the sake of His name and His great faithfulness! Glory to His name!
Many times the Lord spoke to us and encouraged by the man of God and I would need much space to write them all but the most striking was that the last Sunday in February 2005, when at the end of our phone conversation he told me the words: "Brother Tonino! God is comforting you! I feel that he did it "! With my Shepherd we talk often by phone, for me is vital and many times he has cried with us during these calls blessed, God many times through this constant contact us included, has both encouraged and taught. Yet what Jesus let us know in a few days just could not communicate by phone. So, the news source. M. Assunta was conceived with the Holy and perfect will of God, we organized and ran in Naples, to share first with the man of God and his wife and then with the whole Church the wonderful work that the Lord had begun in the womb of my wife . (I remember the brothers who had been three years now we are stationed in Citta di Castello in Perugia where we serve the Lord through the ministry). Pastoral office were the pastor frat. Salvatore Fiorino and his wife, me and my wife. We were only a few minutes, but God so blessed. When the man of God gave me a hug, he whispered my ears: "If it is male, we'll call him Sam! To me that was the word of God! I did not know that back in 1999 in a prayer meeting of the sisters, the Lord spoke to my wife through the prophetic voice given to the source. Anna Fiorino: "Your first born will be male and will be called Sam! God has only one mouth and loved ones in grace when he talks, the second time saying the same thing!
thought he was done, I did not realize what God had prepared the following months. Sure! Why to watch this sweet little face of Samuel had to wait for the regular nine months, in which we have seen the Lord's hand at work and we received many teachings.
I would like to tell you all, but it would take a book for the many things we have experienced: the physical and spiritual sufferings, joys and powerful free. A pregnancy is characterized by suffering and by the continued strong test of faith. Before the strong
toothache and arm almost paralyzed by surprise. M. Assumption (my wife), then a serious detachment of the placenta ... other serious afflictions. One evening, we were in the study of the hospital where Dr. Monica was on duty while we were exposed to a certain clinical picture came a voice in my ear: "Have faith! I had received many promises and revelation of the name ... so I said: "In my wife's belly is a boy named Samuel, who was put there by God! Alleluia! Monica replied, "Yes! Yes! Also I believe it! God be praised! At that later that night she called him by name, although it was only a small embryo (it was still early to know the sex with ultrasound equipment).
The biggest obstacle was that presented himself at the fifth month, we were on July 1. During the ultrasound morphology proved an almost total absence of the amniotic fluid. The situation was really serious. This type of problem indicates a high risk of malformations and irregular growth of the fetus and consequent high risk of miscarriage. The doctors were alarmed, and we talked about these things, our hearts were shaken and it seemed that someone wanted to take away our little Sam. We called the man of God praying for us to let us know that the Lord had everything under control (and when a man of God speaks he does so with the responsibility to speak the holy words of Jesus). The Holy Spirit comforts us through the prophetic Word. Meanwhile, the doctor was also advised that in less than an hour we organized a visit to the hospital specialist hospital in Perugia. From first to second visit they spent about three hours and the second response was that the liquid was almost completely absent, but the lower limits. We are certain that at that juncture of time the Lord has made, fulfilling the prayer of your servant our beloved pastor. God is faithful and for the sake of His name, through this test was again glorifying His name. The test result was a specialist aged placenta and inadequate (which amounts to saying that the nourishment of the fetus had to be clinically low and therefore it was decided that weekly surprise. M. Assunta was to undergo blood tests and ultrasound), the uterine veins did not guarantee a regular flow of blood to the uterus ... the risk was very high! If growth had been arrested before the seventh month the child would have had little chance to live. The goal of doctors was to go beyond the seventh month but Shepherd frat. Salvatore Fiorino encouraged us with the Word of God, "Samuel born the day that God has in mind! Armed with this faith, we have witnessed the doctors who have followed my wife saying that Jesus would have seen great things! It came in the seventh month God worked something wonderful: the placenta now appeared seamless, fluid sound and miraculously the norm, now the veins did their job and growth (which until then was a few weeks late) hours was in line with the times! A second doctor who performed the ultrasound scans regularly said, "No way! You really have a saint in heaven! And ready to answer the evidence that "a saint" but the "Most Holy"! Alleluia! Jesus is the Holy of Holies! Glory to His name! According to medical science, the situation would worsen, not improve. But according to what was expressed by the holy lips of His servants the prophets, the situation is normalized to that our dear friend Dr. Monica said that God had taught her a lot from this experience, that "he is truly the master of life"! Glory to God!
Thus, on 26 October at 13.28 God has officially handed over our little Sam, just as he had expressed at the outset: "Sound! Forte! It will serve the Lord "!
ultimately I want to thank the wonderful Lord and Saviour Jesus 'for putting on our way this humble young doctor who for us' was the angel that God had camped beside us and I thank all the brothers who have supported us with love. Special thanks and 'for the Man of God, my beloved Pastor frat. Salvatore Fiorino. While for many many things were normal, he, our Shepherd, He cried with us with a great spirit of particular sensitivity and empathy, taking care with the word of God, following the step by step and never allow ourselves to ourselves. This is the great lesson that God has given me throughout this experience.
God bless us in His love, brother. Tonino Di Lorenzo
