Official Welcome in the APA of Madonna della Guardia Sanctuary! It is a valuable opportunity to make more knowledge or to keep in touch, waiting to meet us directly here, on Mount Figogna a few kilometers from Genoa.
This is the House of Mary, mother of Jesus, August 29, 1490 appeared to Benedetto Pareto, the Leveled farmer in Valpolcevera. Thus began a fruitful popular story, in which the lowly became the first witnesses of a regenerated faith and lay first involved the Church in a process of renewal.
The style of Mary is the style of the Gospel: to become protagonists children, who, like her, are aware of their humility; those who, like the farmer Benedict, responded to feel inadequate, inadequate to the request to build with you. Our Lady transmits to all his confidence: "You will be a great help."
The Sanctuary of the Madonna della Guardia, home of Mary, is therefore Casa of all. Because we are all insufficient yet capable of great things with the help of God. Sinners and saints. And as always here they come all, Genoese and new citizens, immigrants, people of the country and people from every continent, families, parishes, associations, movements, expressions of civil society, young and old, those of "Church" and those "distant" which, however, rise to the mountain to breathe the air of the house. Here, for over 500 years, they will bring joy and pain, here please help and give thanks for a gift received. Here they prayed and prayed alongside popes, archbishops and faithful without name but with the same great calling.

August 29. OUR DAY
And then we gather together every year on August 29, the day when we remember the apparition of Our Lady to Benedict. Always the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Guardia throngs of faithful and people going to be reconciled to God and start over. Between us, the Archbishop of Genoa. Every year the "Mother House" on Mount Figogna connecting locations from around the world, from America to Australia and Africa, wherever the faith of the Genoese, missionaries and local communities have wanted to bring and welcome the Madonna della Guardia. How far can a small farmer!
