Denuncias a fiscales, filtración de información y material en proceso de investigación. Discusiones en redes sociales. Cruces en el ámbito político. Estas cuestiones se han reiterado en los casos judiciales que se han dado en nuestro país en los últimos años: caso Sendic, caso Astesiano, caso Charles Carrera, caso Penadés, caso Marset, caso Caram. Y, en los últimos días, caso Besozzi. Cada uno de estos procesos judiciales tuvo sus propias particularidades. Pero algo que tienen en común es el involucramiento de la discusión de la opinión pública junto con el sistema de justicia. ¿Cómo se tratan a nivel mediático los procesos judiciales que más generan atención de la ciudadanía? La Tertulia de los Jueves con Ana Laura Pérez, Cecilia Eguiluz, Daniel Supervielle y Gabriel Mazzarovich.

Manuella Besozzi - Programa "Aguante Vivir Radio" - Martes 25 de Marzo.

El caso del exintendente de Soriano, Guillermo Besozzi, que se encuentra en arresto domiciliario con tobillera luego de que Fiscalía le imputara siete delitos, generó una nueva polémica sobre el Ministerio Público en el ámbito político. En particular, dirigentes del Partido Nacional critican de manera frontal la actuación de la fiscal Stella Alciaturi. Sin embargo, las acciones que la fiscal llevó adelante contaron con el aval de una jueza. Las intervenciones telefónicas, la detención por la Policía para llevar a Besozzi a declarar y la medida cautelar de la prisión domiciliaria fueron homologadas —tras pedidos de la fiscal— por el Poder Judicial, el organismo encargado de velar por las garantías de los ciudadanos ante conflictos con la Justicia. ¿Cómo funciona actualmente el sistema penal uruguayo? Profundizamos sobre cuál es rol de la Fiscalía y el del Poder Judicial desde que rige el Nuevo Código del Proceso Penal. Para eso conversamos En Perspectiva con el Dr. Germán Aller, catedrático de Derecho Penal y Profesor de Criminología en la Universidad de la República.

Este domingo en Soriano tuvo lugar una manifestación que convocó a cientos de simpatizantes y dirigentes del Partido Nacional en apoyo al exintendente Guillermo Besozzi, que hace diez días fue imputado por siete delitos de corrupción a instancias de la fiscal Stella Alciaturi. La concentración tuvo lugar en la chacra de Besozzi, que se encuentra cumpliendo prisión domiciliaria por 180 días con tobillera electrónica, según dispuso como medida cautelar la jueza del caso, Ximena Menchaca. Hablando frente a sus simpatizantes, una parte de ellos llegados a caballo, el dirigente blanco dijo que estará “eternamente agradecido” por el apoyo que ha recibido dentro de su partido y defendió nuevamente su inocencia. “Yo soy inocente, yo no toqué nada. Por eso quiero que vengan y pregunten de qué se trata. Sentí impotencia de no poder ni siquiera, que alguien venga y me pregunte: ¿De esto qué hay? ¿Es cierto algo de esto? ¿O no? Alguien que me preguntase de parte de la Justicia”. Besozzi enfatizó que no “era un delincuente”. De todas formas, señaló que cree en la Justicia, aunque reclamó que “se lleven adelante los debidos procesos”. “Esto no es un acto político. En un país democrático y republicano los tres poderes tienen que funcionar bien e independientes…Y por último, espero que por lo menos sirva para algo esto. Miren que he hablado con gente del Frente, del Partido Colorado, de Cabildo... He hablado con un montón de gente relevante, mucho más relevante que yo. Esperemos que sirva para algo esto. Para mejorar nuestro querido sistema jurídico y democrático…” ¿Cómo vieron los tertulianos esta movilización que tuvo lugar ayer en la chacra del exintendente? ¿Fue un acto político de campaña? ¿Fortaleció la figura de Besozzi?

¿Cuál ha sido la repercusión local del procesamiento al ex intendente de Soriano, y actual candidato, Guillermo Besozzi? El jueves pasado Besozzi fue imputado por siete delitos relacionados a diversos casos de corrupción en la Intendencia de Soriano, entre lo que incluyen peculado, tráfico de influencias, concusión, omisión de denunciar ilícitos, abuso de funciones, cohecho simple y cohecho como coautor. Deberá cumplir prisión domiciliar por 180 días, con tobillera electrónica.  El día antes, la Mesa Política Departamental del Frente Amplio de Soriano había expresado: Ante los hechos de público conocimiento que involucran al ex intendente de Soriano, Sr. Guillermo Besozzi, el Directorio del Partido Nacional declara: Respaldar la trayectoria personal y pública del Sr. Guillermo Besozzi, a quien le asiste el estado de inocencia. Respaldar plenamente la candidatura del Sr.Guillermo Besozzi a la Intendencia de Soriano, resuelta por la Convención Departamental conjuntamente a los otros dos compañeros proclamados. La preocupación por posibles desvíos procesales y la discrecionalidad en los procedimientos, así como su rechazo a las filtraciones con motivación política. La confianza en el Poder Judicial y sus pronunciamientos cuando son definitivos, en la aplicación del debido proceso y las garantías que lo deben rodear. Conversamos En Perspectiva con Pablo Ponce, uno de los tres candidatos a la Intendencia de Soriano por el Frente Amplio.

El Honorable Directorio del Partido Nacional (PN) declaró ayer su respaldo a “la trayectoria personal y pública” de Guillermo Besozzi, exintendente de Soriano y candidato a la reelección, a quien la Fiscalía le imputó la semana pasada siete delitos vinculados con la corrupción. Las autoridades blancas también respaldaron que Besozzi siga siendo candidato, tal cual él mismo había planteado en una conferencia de prensa que ofreció el domingo desde su casa, donde está recluido con prisión preventiva y tobillera electrónica. En su declaración, además, el ejecutivo nacionalista expresó su “preocupación por posibles desvíos procesales” y por “discrecionalidad en los procedimientos”, y rechazó “las filtraciones con motivación política”. En el último punto de la declaración, el Directorio del PN aclaró que tiene “confianza en el Poder Judicial y sus pronunciamientos cuando son definitivos, en la aplicación del debido proceso y las garantías que lo deben rodear”. El pronunciamiento oficial del PN va en en línea con las críticas que varios dirigentes blancos realizaron en lo últimos días al accionar de la fiscal del caso, Stella Alciaturi. El senador Sebastián da Silva se sumó a estas expresiones ayer, cuando acusó a la magistrada de “atrevida”. "Es una de las situaciones de mayor hipocresía que se ha visto en el sistema político. Nosotros no cuestionamos la afiliación política de los ciudadanos. Todo el mundo vota, todo el mundo tiene las ideas, todo el mundo tiene derecho a pensarlas. En el caso de la fiscal, su huella digital demuestra un enorme antiblanquismo. Hay publicaciones de ella en las redes sociales que demuestran una falta de respeto hacia el Partido Nacional, que después obviamente se traduce en este tipo de exageración en donde todo el sistema político tiene que asumir que estamos frente a una discusión absolutamente hipócrita". En tanto, la fiscal Alciaturi concedió una entrevista a Radio Sarandí, donde aseguró que “el escándalo” lo estaba haciendo Besozzi y no la Fiscalía, y rechazó que la fecha en que se determinó la detención del exintendente, en plena campaña hacia las elecciones departamentales, hubiera buscado un impacto electoral. "No, yo no apuré nada y con eso, no, nada apuré. Con eso estaba escuchando a un legislador que decía, tenía, escucha, hace cuatro o cinco meses, porque no le aviso ahora que ahora dentro de unos meses hay una elección. Hace cinco meses había una elección nacional, hace cuatro meses había un balotaje. Digo, en todas las ocasiones hubiera dicho lo mismo y hubieran responsabilizado a la fiscalía de cualquier resultado adverso que obtuvieran, porque esa es la técnica cuando uno no tiene más remedio que investigar a personas vinculadas al poder, sea del lado que sea". La Tertulia de los Martes con Juan Erosa, Elena Grauert, Martín Moraes y Eleonora Navatta.

Uno de los tres imputados por el cargamento de dos toneladas de cocaína que salió del puerto de Montevideo y se incautó en el puerto de Amberes, Bélgica, a fines de diciembre es Carlos Mengen, dirigente del Partido Nacional que se desempeñaba como coordinador del municipio de Cardona, en Soriano. Mengen, que es empresario transportista, fue formalizado con prisión preventiva por el delito de asistencia al narcotráfico. Según el periódico local Centenario y La Diaria, la Brigada Antinarcóticos de la Policía llevó a cabo procedimientos en Florencio Sánchez y Cardona el 9 de febrero pasado. El objetivo a investigar era una firma transportista local a la que se le incautó un camión. Fuentes vinculadas al caso explicaron que Mengen se encargó de contratar al camión que llevó la droga a un depósito y estaba al tanto de toda la operativa. La incautación de la droga en Amberes se produjo el 28 de diciembre del año pasado. Al día siguiente Mengen renunció a su cargo como coordinador del municipio de Cardona, lo que fue aceptado por el alcalde Rubén Valentin. Mengen había sido concejal de Cardona en el período 2015-2020. Hace poco más de un año el alcalde lo nombró coordinador del municipio. Ayer el intendente de Soriano Guillermo Besozzi envió una carta dirigida a la Convención Departamental del Partido Nacional en la que pide que se expulse del partido a Mengen. Según dijo Besozzi a Montevideo Portal, la misiva responde a que es lo único que está dentro de sus posibilidades de acción, porque Mengen ya no está en el cargo. La droga incautada en Amberes estaba camuflada en un contenedor con alfajores, budines y whisky que salió de Zonamérica. Por este caso fue imputado además, el dueño de Liderking y Dositar, las compañías que operaban en Zonamérica y tuvieron a cargo la exportación de la mercadería. El empresario fue imputado por tráfico de estupefacientes en la modalidad de exportación y se dispuso su prisión preventiva. También formalizaron a un socio del empresario, pero sólo se le aplicaron medidas limitativas –fijación de domicilio y prohibición de salir del país–, debido a que la Fiscalía entendió que no había elementos para vincularlo “directamente con la exportación de la cocaína”. A partir de este caso, les pregunto: ¿Los uruguayos consideramos la posibilidad de que el narcotrafico pueda entrar en la política? ¿Los partidos están tomando las previsiones? La Tertulia de los Miércoles con Leonardo Costa, Bruno Gili y Eleonora Navatta.

Letter - 9 - The Saints, True Imitators of Christ  Guastalla, June 10, 1539  MY ONE AND ONLY BELOVED MOTHER AND MY OBEDIENT DAUGHTERS IN CHRIST, GREETINGS.Tomorrow we celebrate the Memorial of St. Barnabas, the companion of our common patron, the chaste Paul.  I can’t help taking this occasion to use, in dealing with you, the same approach that Barnabas used in dealing with the great Paul who wanted to be a living example of the suffering Christ in reality as well as in everyone’s estimation.You must know, of course, how St. Paul, just after his conversion, went for the first time to Jerusalem.  He tried every possible way to mingle with the other Christians in order to get acquainted with them and to be acknowledged by them as a Christian; but they were afraid and suspicious of him as though he were still the same persecutor, and so they dared not keep his company.That was when Barnabas, leading Paul by the hand, presented him to the Apostles and told them: “Here he is, the one who was, etc.; and then Christ appeared to him, etc.; and he did this and that, etc.”150  By presenting Paul in person this way, Barnabas made him known to all and showed him as a pillar of the Church and the one who had almost attained the first place in the apostolic mission.  All the while Paul was keeping secret his own merits, and at the same time he was drinking great draughts of self-satisfaction, unafraid of savoring his own exceedingly sweet praises.Likewise, dear Mother, if it pleases you, I would like to show you how freely great saints behave.  Yes, I would like to make you see that what in them, because of their lofty perfection, is an experience and a sure sign of a consummated holiness, can become in us, instead, an occasion of certain ruin or a sure sign of not having eliminated our first and inveterate bad habits, as is apparent in the story told by St. John Climacus about a certain saint who felt so sure of being totally free of gluttony that he tempted the devil with a bunch of grapes to see if the latter would in turn tempt him in the same way.151 The other case is that of someone who wants to know for certain to what extent a certain passion is suppressed in himself or in others. He first arouses that passion by words, gestures, and the like, then, observing the matter very closely, waits for the results, and from them he deduces both his own and other people’s interior state.I will not mention here certain things that only you can understand, but rather those which also our Angelics can grasp, leaving those other things for your spirit to ponder.Barnabas says: “Behold Saul,” that is, the very countenance of our sinful old Man—the mirror of our first evil inclinations or passions. Look, I say, at the idle talk of this or that would-be saint: she chatters endlessly like a finch or a monkey; she is seldom seen at prayer, always involved, as she is, in external occupations; she enjoys sleeping a lot, even lying abed lazily.  Is this not the face of Saul, that is, the picture of our sinful old Man?But this is nothing yet.  She wants to be served; she keeps her cell well equipped with comforts and elegance; she always speaks in a reproachful mood; she is never ready to say a comforting word to anybody; she shows that she holds nobody in esteem.  Well, what do you think all these attitudes mean, but that the bad habits of the old self are still laying hold of her?Moreover, she is never satisfied; she is always under the siege of temptation, and her spiritual knowledge is always cloudy and doubtful.  In a word: she gives clear signs of being the same person as she was when living in plain clothes, or, at least, of being still imperfect or very little changed.Her stomach relishes only the best of everything.  What else does that prove, but that she is a first rate glutton?  She can hardly wait without showing anger on her face; she cannot keep herself kneeling without leaning on the edge of the seat; she is so sensitive to everything around her that her blood pressure goes up easily.  What else does all this reveal but a great moral feebleness?And see for yourselves if this is not so: she gets easily tired; she suffers headaches when she has to sit at the grate; she cannot bear the troubles of her neighbor.  [In this description] one can see everything except the portrait of a mature person.All this is Saul—namely, the portrait of the imperfect person.  “But keep quiet,” says Barnabas, “don’t forget that to a person, like the one just described Christ appeared, etc...”  If you pay attention, you will find hidden that this person is a saint interiorly and exteriorly.  If you take the trouble to understand her every aspect, as I lay open this poor creature, I am quite sure she will blush and lower her head to conceal her real self.But see whether, when she speaks, she is not touching and inflaming you deeply; when she speaks seeming nonsense, she is actually fully aware of your situation and works on it accordingly; see whether in her constant restlessness she doesn’t achieve something new for herself and for others; see whether, when she leaves you, she never omits an edifying word or unspoken sign or gesture; see whether in her seeming absent-mindedness she is actually fully aware of your every move and inspires you with good thoughts and stimulating suggestions.Now, keep perfectly quiet, for I have something else to show you.  When she misses the time for prayer, just then she manifests her rich interior life.  When you see her upset and in pain, as if anxious to learn something from untutored people, she is only showing self-contempt and a willingness to appear unlearned. When you see her elegantly arranging her cell, she is actually trying to be an object of ridicule and wishes to hide the consolations received from Jesus Crucified as well as the instructions imparted by St. Paul.  With one and the same word she brings both death and life; in one swoop she inflicts wounds and heals them.152 Enough.  Anyone willing to examine carefully her actions will indeed recognize in her Saul’s portrait, but Barnabas will assure us that she is not what she appears to be now, and what she appeared to be in the past.My dear Mother, I could go on and on, but I would not like to arouse bad feelings against me.  Besides, you can tell them the rest.The only thing I wish to add is this: tell the Angelics not to take such liberties.  I can assure them that they would achieve results quite opposite to those obtained by that person, and, instead of making great strides in perfection, they would perhaps descend deep down into the hell of absolute imperfection.Therefore, not idle talk, but a strict silence is expedient and necessary for them.  Acting, talking, and thinking without interior and exterior control is unbecoming and unprofitable to them.  Failure to renounce themselves while following their own whims could poison them to death since their wishes are worldly.  Were they in a position of authority, they would grow presumptuous; were they knowledgeable, they would become proud; were their spirit dissipated, they would become slack; were they unwilling to renounce their will, even in good things, they would not only become coarse but would entirely disaffect themselves from Paul and his way of life.Do reflect and see what a great harm is caused by seeking one’s comfort, by drinking [and eating] with pleasure, if not so much wine and exquisite food, at least maudlin sentimentality and self-complacency.  If they are not blind, what I have just said will show them how much spiritual harm will come about.In conclusion, tell them that this Paul preaches to them a Christ Crucified under every aspect: crucified not only in His own body, but in theirs, too—and entreat them to chew well this one word.  If, because of their obtuseness, they do not quite understand it, ask my teacher Paola153 to make it clear to them; for I am sure that that tongue so inflamed and so sharp will supply what I would tell them.That’s it, dear Mother.[Guastalla], June 10, 1539.Your Father and son,Anthony Mary, Priest  REFLECTIONSWe display false humility when, while belittling ourselves in public, we hold in our heart a great opinion of ourselves which becomes manifest when others belittle us.Persons who are truly holy sometimes strive to appear imperfect in order not to be praised by people. They use ways and methods proper of sinners, but these are only expedients to hide true holiness.In all of us who are truly imperfect those ways and methods are not expedients but rather real defects. Even though we may try to pass them as expedients we have purposely created to appear humble, they remain outright vices.Idle talk, lack of perseverance in prayer, and laziness are real defects, not pretenses.And when, feigning illness or inability, we demand to be served, get angry if we are not treated as we would like, and are never satisfied with what we receive, we show ourselves to be not only imperfect but even reprehensible.Habitual discontent with the meals that are served, good as they may be, anger, impatience, refusal to kneel on the pretext of infirmity are all signs of lukewarmness and rejection of the cross.We need to limit idle talk, practice internal and external obedience, die to ourselves, deny our ego, and think little of those positions that could excessively increase our self-esteem and drag us into self-flattery.We are called to crucify our own selfishness and imitate Christ Crucified who humbled himself to the point of death, even death on a cross.QUESTIONSDo I at times display a seeming humility in order to be valued as simple and modest?Am I able to hide and keep my good deeds unknown so that I will not be praised for them, for after all they are a gift from God?Do I at times pass as harm sustained real faults, human limitations, illnesses caused by bad habits, all things of which I profess to be innocent even though I am not?Can it also happen that words, useless talk, erratic prayer habits, lack of commitment, are made believe to be things we end up doing just because we need to vent our feelings, or because we are weak, frustrated, tried by the ups and downs of life, crushed by the serious difficulties we encounter, when in reality they are simply signs of spiritual indolence?Do I sometimes argue that I deserve better meals due to what I do and loose my temper if I am not pleased?Do I lessen my commitment to prayer when I am tired?Do I find it hard to obey and submit to others? FOOTNOTES 141.

According to Cagni, “Negri o Besozzi?” 183, this letter directed to “my one and only beloved Mother (Paola Antonia Negri) and my obedient daughters in Christ (her novices)” was a “conference letter.” This kind of letter would replace an actual conference held on the eve of a liturgical feast.  These conferences were a well-established tradition dating back to the days of the Oratory of Eternal Wisdom.

Letter 6 - Spiritual Progress and Christian Service Cremona, October 8, 1538To the Reverend Father and brother in Christ, Mr. Bartolomeo Ferrari.82 To the Reformed.  In VicenzaMY DEAR BROTHER IN CHRIST, Why do you entertain any doubt?  Haven’t you experienced in this undertaking that you never lacked the necessary means to help those in need?  Nothing is more certain and reliable than experience. Those who love you do not possess the wealth either of a Paul or of a Magdalene; they do, however, trust in the One who enriched them both.  Thus, as a result of both your faith and theirs, God will provide for any person under your care.You can be sure that, before you speak and in the very moment of speaking, Jesus Crucified will anticipate and accompany, not only every word of yours, but your every holy intention.  St. Paul said that he would push forward but stay within the limits of the work that Christ had set for him.92  As for you, Jesus Crucified has also set a limit when he promised that you would get enough strength to pierce to their marrow the hearts of people.93  Don’t you see that He Himself has opened the doors for you with His own hands?  Who, then, will hinder you from entering those hearts and from changing them so completely as to renew them and beautify them with holy virtues?  Nobody, of course—neither the devil nor any other creature.94 And don’t let any weakening that you may experience in your preaching and in your pastoral work stop you; for just as through constant school exercises, ignorance is dispelled and iron is kept shiny the more it is used, so it is with Christian asceticism.  At the beginning, Paul was not what he became afterward.  So it is with everybody else.  You can be assured then that on the foundation of Paul, you are going to build not structures made of hay or wood but of gold and precious stones;95 and the heavens with their treasures will be opened to you and to the souls entrusted to you.96Sweet hearts of my heart, I embrace you, as I am certain you will grow perfect according to your interior dispositions.  Oh!  Were you only here with me, nothing in the world could prevent me from embracing and covering you with endless signs of affection.  But You, dear Jesus, embrace them on my behalf.Dear saintly son, the project in which you are now engaged is also my responsibility, as you probably have noticed.  I could not help but be with you, for nowhere else is my heart than with yours.  Therefore, may the ample freedom, which I have always given you, be for you a sure guarantee that your undertakings will conclude happily with profit to all.Good Mother Prioress, don’t waste your time in personal trifles.  Even if you might consider yourself a devil, worthy of being submerged not only in muddy water but also in a cesspool, and you were utterly convinced of it, don’t worry about it.  Instead, give yourself totally to serving those people who have already been entrusted to your care, and who will continue to be entrusted to you by Jesus Crucified in the future.Oh, you who are the very mirror of my life, remember that you are generous and that Jesus Crucified has always been abundantly generous with you; how then can they who love you as they love themselves fail to be at your side to help you?And you, Franceschina,97 if you acknowledge that you have derived benefit from evil—not, of course, through your own efforts but through the efforts of those who strive to give you life in Christ—be convinced that you owe them, in sheer gratitude, what you are already giving them: I mean your diligence in pleasing them by undertaking the works which they have entrusted to you.  Do make progress, and help the others make progress as well.And all of you do the same.I do not recommend our Sylvestrines to you because they are indeed very much recommended as they are already yours.  Please, tell them on my behalf, when and how you think it convenient, generally and in particular, whatever you wish.As to those who are outside our community, if you think it fit to write something to them on my behalf, it is up to you, for you know better than I do what is to be said to them.  Besides, overburdened as I am with other cares, I am quite limited; so much so that I am unable to respond to the needs of those to whom I am bound to attend and for whom indeed I feel obligated.Now I would like to write to my sweet Paolina,98 but I do not find the time.  Likewise, it would be a pleasure to write to my faithful Donna Lucrezia,99 but I can’t.  Please, tell her that I would like her to be like me by trying not only to progress in her own life—a small achievement after all—but also to help the others on the same road.Again, tell my Doyenne100 that I think of her and her sister as well.  Tell my sweet Donna Faustina101 that I do not forget her—how could I?—and that she can count on my promise.Finally, you can assure them all that I am theirs, and that Jesus Crucified makes me love them very much indeed, because they are generous.To our amiable Fra Bono102 and Master Castellino,103 priest, lots of greetings in Christ; kiss them for me.  To them too, I would have liked to write, but as I really can’t, present them with my apology.  Particularly let our worthy Father Abbot104 be assured that he is among brothers, and that it is a temptation from the evil one to have him withdraw from them.  The devil is afraid lest what he dislikes should come true, and, in fact, he knows by experience that our friend’s simplicity has always borne fruit, and that every time he has cast the net, he has always caught large and good fish.As for my saintly priest Castellino, I wish to see him, and I would like him not to deprive me of his presence, for I am about to begin negotiations for St. Barnabas,105 and I do not want him to miss the inaugural benediction.  I would never do this without his presence.  Besides, I want you to send him as your delegate to the conclusion of the transaction.  I know that you will miss his presence, but, as I am aware of your being always ready to satisfy the wishes of others before your own, I beg you to endure his absence and to send him to me.  Be so kind as to remember me to him and entreat him to come soon, so that we may be together for this enterprise.Remember me to our beloved ones: Mr. Lodovico,106 Mr. Antonio,107 my faithful Franceschi’s,108 my host Mr. Andrea,109 and all the others.  A kiss to all from me.Greetings also to Count Brunoro,110 Giulio,111 the barber and his wife, the Reverend Fathers Alessandro, Luigi, and Antonio.112  I would like everyone to know the self-sacrificing devotion of our Fra Bono113 because then the Forty Hours Devotion and the other apostolic works would indeed make progress.  Suggest to Madonna Maddalena114 that she get acquainted with him.  Remember me to her.  If you dismiss Donna Giovanna,115 let me know.  As for Gerolamo,116 I really do not know what to say; it is not my concern.My dearly beloved one, if I have left out anyone or anything, since I am quite tired, you take care of it.  May Christ bless you one by one in the depth of your hearts, and give you His own Spirit.From Cremona, October 8, 1538.If Madonna117 has not yet taken care of your brother,118 have no misgiving because today or tomorrow I will be going to Guastalla, and I will take care of the matter, along with Paola Antonia119 who has already written to her about it.May Christ make you holy.Yours in Christ, Father Anthony Mary, Priest and Mother A[ngelic] P[aola] A[ntonia Negri]120If you like the letters which I had Mr. Camillo [Negri]121 write, give them to the addressees.REFLECTIONSChrist crucified provides for all the needs of his disciples, even before they ask, anticipating their intentions.Christ crucified invigorates our feeble energies so that we can reach out to the hearts of those who are entrusted to us. Therefore, we should not let our inadequacies discourage us.Not even unreasonable scruples should stop us from doing good to our neighbor.We must be grateful to those who help us in our weakness with hard work and sacrifice.QUESTIONSHave I so much familiarity with Jesus that I can talk to him as if he were visibly present, fully confident that he listens to me and will take care of me at the proper time?Have I ever tried with confidence to entrust others to God, certain that he will do more than I, a poor fellow, can do?Do I know that perfectionism, an exaggerated analysis of my behavior, and consequently rejection of my human and spiritual giftedness can hinder me from doing the good that I can do?Do I already get into the habit of thanking those who help me in my difficulties?FOOTNOTES  82. See Letter II, Introduction.83.

Besozzi (see n. 181) because he finally proved to be unsuitable for community life.  However, he remained in excellent relationship with the Barnabites.  He had a degree in Civil and Canon Law, and published many ascetical works.104. See n. 16.105. The acquisition and furnishing of the historical mother house of the Barnabites (1545), a house and the church of St. Barnabas.  Originally called Sons of St. Paul by their Founder, they became known as Barnabites after they moved to St. Barnabas. This popular name, Barnabites,  later acquired official status in addition to the name of Clerics Regular of St. Paul, an appellation first used in the Bull of Julius III (August 11, 1550) which, among other things, authorized the solemn profession of vows (see Premoli, Storia 500).106.

In the church of St. Barnabas in Milan, he commissioned the chapel of Sts. Bartholomew and Francis.  Basilio’s name is the eighth on a list of forty-five early benefactors, or rather de facto affiliates, of the Barnabite Congregation.  In the words of Fr. Geralamo Marta, fourth Superior General (1551–1554, 1556–1558, 1559–1566), Basilio’s soul was “through Divine Providence glued, as it were, to our souls as Jonathan’s soul to David’s.”119.
