El Nacimiento de la Revista: Familia Cristiana

The birth of the weekly “Familia Cristiana” was one of the most important moments of his life. This great work, among all his other works, had been foreseen in 1918 when Fr. Alberione, addressing a small group of his first youth, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said: "Lift up your eyes, look up on high and see the great tree of which no one can see the top: this is our House, which is really a great tree (alberone); you are but the roots. In fact, the actual house is the root of this great tree. You are at the foot of a great mountain, go up, look out, the horizon is the whole world".

Today, the Paulines throughout the world, give thanks to the Lord for having given to His Church this tireless apostle, Blessed James Alberione, founder of the Pauline Family.

We, the Pauline missionaries, are so blessed by the chance of having been to Alba, Italy, the place where Blessed Alberione started this weekly magazine.
