Thank You, Jesus, for Loving Father Aniello

Come Gesu, anch'io ti amo fino a morire.

I've mentioned this priest numerous times.  He is the one who introduced me to the Holy Spirit.

Rev. Aniello Salicone, S.X.of the Xaverian Missionaries was born in Italy in 1940. In 1952 he entered a Minor Seminary. In 1961 he left the Pontifical Seminary of Salerno (Italy) to join the Xaverian Missionaries in Parma. He was ordained a priest in 1966. After 8 years of ministry in Italy, he left for London to learn English. The year after, he went to Sierra Leone, West Africa to teach and minister in the diocese of Makeni. In 1980, Fr. Aniello went to Chicago for post graduate studies at the Catholic Theological Union (CTU), where he earned his Master of Art in Theology. He went back to West Africa, and was sent to Liberia at St. Paul Major Seminary.

Fr. Aniello taught Pastoral Theology and ran the seminary for seven years. He went to the Xaverian House in Holliston, Massachusetts in 1994. He began his healing ministry in 1995 and went to Chicago in 2001 to help Fr. Michael Davitti, a Xaverian Missionary who runs the St. Therese Chinese Catholic Mission. He served in Italy, London, West Africa, and many states throughout the United States.  He was one of the Fr. Joe Whalen’s Archangel St. Raphael Holy Healing Ministry’s beloved priests. Fr. Aniello was blessed with many God-given gifts and was the assistant to the Rector at the Xaverian house in Franklin, Wisconsin. Many will remember him for his famous prayer:
“Thank you Jesus for loving me as your number one. Please help me to love You, others, and myself the way you loved me.”

“His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant.” 

MATTHEW 25:23

Pray always for purity and love
