"When one goes to the outskirts of the city of Rome along the Via
Laurentina, one finds two significant sites that are reminders of the
power of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The first site is the Trappist
Monastery of Tre Fontane that houses three churches - the most famous of
which being the Church of St. Paul at Tre Fontane. This Church marks the
spot where the great persecutor-turned-Apostle to the Gentiles, was beheaded by the Romans for the glory of Our Lord and the sake of the Gospel.
"Around the corner from this shrine, another Saul-like persecutor had
his own a Paul-like conversion through the merits of the Sacred Heart of
Jesus and the intercession of Our Lady. This 'Saul' was Bruno
Cornacchiola, a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and a Roman
trolley driver. Cornacchiola's story includes some notable apparitions
of the Blessed Virgin, under the title of Our Lady of Revelation in Tre
Fontane."
In a recent commentary, Father Matthew MacDonald reflected on the significance of the converion of
Bruno
Cornacchiola.
