Validly and lawfully ordered priest on the 5th July 1964, in Monopoli, in the church of S. Francesco. By Mons. Carlo Ferrari, bishop of Monopoli.
Monday 1st June. The angels reproduce in his right ear, twice, the singing word “World”. The appearance of God, next, will be worldwide.
Italy is a corrupted Country, unable of moral indignation, with a church interested only in its interests.
Peculiar prayer of his nephew Giusy. Bilocation
She asks Jesus the gift of Bilocation for her uncle prophet and herself. In order to do good all over the earth. A prayer scribbled on a cartouche that the prophet still preserves carefully.
“I pray You Jesus, fulfil our desire. We want to fly like You, who have resurrected”.
Midnight. 2nd January 1984. Monopoli
He noticed that several people observed his forehead, against the light, puzzled. The signs (holes crosses spots) were not clear at all.
Did not the possible bandana mean lying to the others and making a fool of himself as well?
His eyes were wet for Love in the half-light of the Avellinese little Chapel. The verger confessed to the Jesuit-prophet and told feebly his secret: “I can see the angles, fair, long hair, wearing jeans. They get dark when I commit a venial sin. They are happy when I do good. Father, forgive me, but I felt I could tell it to You”.

“…Yet God is asking you a step forward, a more demanding step, more total: consecrating you to Him with the “Vow of Love”. You could rightly object: if I consecrated with the three classical vows it is because I Love. Without Love you cannot give yourself to God.
This is much true as well: for every consecration Love is implicit. Father Franco, you are not only asked to Love, but also to enter the Heart, the Being of Love so to be totally absorbed by it, imbued of it and in such an infinite abyss of imbued Love. Still. This “Vow of Love” will always be, more and more, for you that vigorous stroke of wings, that raises you Higher and takes you to embrace, more vigorously and intensely, in Love every expression of God’s will and every cross, differently shaped, often because of those who for jealousy make and will make you suffer, will be the reason of misunderstandings, humiliation, disturbing your apostolate.
Such a “Vow of Love” has the power not to leave you standing in the wounds that pain and humiliation bring. With the help of the Virgin Lady, Mother of Love, and in the Light and Power of the Holy Spirit, you will find out its secrets and ineffable joys and consolations, that God will make you taste even through the most different proofs. You will work out the way the Lord keeps transforming your life in Love. “If you do not become like the children you will never enter the Kingdom”. It is typical of Love, make us grow in innocence, purity, simplicity, trust and filial abandonment. God wants us to be free and available lovers. We get to this condition not for our ability and merit but for the Grace and Love of God, who is in us.
This “Vow of Love” will be your energy and your patience in waiting, Loving God’s silences. Silences that often involve the soul martyrdom. It is peculiar of Love being able to imitate patience and faith of God. Moreover, such a “Vow of Love” will make you actually live the paradox of the Blessedness…”.

“…Always walk on the footsteps of Christ, with Faith, Hope and Love. And then jealousy, mistrust, suspects, spitefulness, become for as being as Christ and Christ humiliated, misunderstood, crucified. Faith and faithfulness to Christ, always, at all costs, and then with Christ the Glory…It is harder to accept life than death, when all of us passionately longs for Him, God, Love, Trinity. With Trinity and in Trinity I come to you, more and more in a day. The Mother is always with us…I am writing to you from my bed, yet I do not feel confined in those few sqmt. You know that God has made me to move freely with Him. Just because in communion with Hi I feel all humanity pulsating in my heart.
God keeps on making Himself felt. On Maundy Thursday, when Jesus Eucharist came into my heart, His clear and transparent “Voice” told me: “I am always with you”…In my nothingness I stand in silence and contemplation, wrapped in the Light and sweetness of this “Voice” and in the bright clearness of His Divine reality I get lost. Without asking any other questions, without asking myself with fear: am I not a dreamer? I open myself and surrender to the Infinite and I bless, praise, adore, thank God who acts always with Love and freedom…”.
Joy belongs to those who give and much more to those who give themselves. Curato d’Ars

“…If you really are luckier than me and go to Paradise soon, remember the pact made in Betania: the first who gets Above there will hug, for who stays down, the Mother and with the Mother both Jesus and the Father in Love and joy of the Spirit. And you will come and see me with Them.
You know that my heart lives in the Heart of Trinity, for this, I repeat you, I am spiritually near you, very much. And you talk about the “baby girl of the Father” to Them. Help me, Franco, to be the way Jesus wants me to be. I experience more and more sweetness in resting in the Heart of the Father. You do not know haw far is from me the desire of “I want to be a saint”. I only have the desire of letting the Three Love me the way they want to. It is so nice to let yourself be Loved and done. This brings me to see the earth with the eyes of the Father and to Love the brothers with the Heart of Jesus, crucified and resurrected…”.
