today I’d like to introduce to you “SANTUARIO DELLA MADONNA DEL DIVINO AMORE ”. It a Sanctuary dated XIII century and situated in Rome, in Via del Santuario 10.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Divine Love consists of two churches: the old o ne dated 1945, and the new one in 1999. It 's a pilgrimage destination from all over the world.

On account of this prodigy, on 5 September of the same year the image of Mary was removed from the tower . Five years later, on 1-9 April 1745, the image was brought back to its ancient seat, where a church had been erected. It was consecrated in 1750 by Cardinal Carlo Rezzonico; who later became Pope with the name of Clement XIII. Starting from that time folk pilgrimages began, became more and more numerous and are still continuing today.

During the Second World War, the sanctuary was closed. After the war, the Sanctuary reopens its doors, and works of charity, culture and apostolate develop.

On 1 May, 1979, Pope John Paul II visits the Shrine and names it "the Marian Sanctuary of Rome". He comes again on 7 June, 1987, on the occasion of the opening of the Marian Year.

On 29 February, 1991. Cardinal Vicar Camillo Ruini's edict for the canonization of the Servant of God Don Umberto Terenzi, founder of the Congregation of Our Lady of Divine Love, was published.

The Diocesan Synod, opened in 1986 and closed in 1993 at the presence of an effigy of Our Lady of Divine Love brought to St Peter's Square, constitutes the most authoritative event of the Church of Rome to accomplish the vow, through spiritual revival and growth in communion with the Church and its mission in the City and in the world.

The old church:

On 19 February, 1991, the building contract for the construction of the new Sanctuary was signed. The project of the new Shrine foresees a green meadow covering the roof, a sheet of water on its consecrated ground and immense stained glass windows for walls, which will confer a mystical light to the whole structure. The new Sanctuary is under construction at the foot of the hill, outside the ancient walls, and it will neither break the magic spell of the Roman Campagna, nor the remarkable atmosphere of the monumental complex of the XV11 century.
