Dearest brothers and sisters, dearest Girifalco community, Mons died this morning. Antonio Cantisani. Praying for him entrusting our humble prayer to the Lord, remembering him as a great pastor with Father’s heart. Eternal rest bestow upon him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Rest in peace. Amen. Amen.
Mons. Antonio Catisani preceded us in the kingdom of heaven where together we will sing the hallelujah of life that doesn’t die. She’s embracing the Lord she’s always loved that she’s always sought that she’s always announced. Thank you Lord for the great gift you have given us in him. We will all find ourselves in You. Ninety-four years of life, his 50 years of episcopate, all the posts he held make us understand the high-ranking figure of Mons. Antonio Cantisani. We definitely wouldn’t be able to explain the emptiness he leaves if we didn’t reflect on how he’s lived these years, but especially his ministry. Each of us could tell one or more occasions where we have received good from Mons. Cantisans, or in which he saw doing good, but there would still be few testimonies compared to what the Lord has accomplished through his work. He served the Lord, his Diocesan Church of Catanzaro-Squillace with all himself, his humanity, his character, his skills, his wisdom, his love for the Church. He now participates and relives in himself the mystery of Christ who spends his life for all. The perspective we entrust Mons to. Cantisani is this: coming to the Father’s house where the Lord has prepared him a place and where he welcomes him with the desired words: ′′ Come good and faithful servant ′′ (cf. Mt 25,21.23). Thank you Mons. Cantisans Pray for our Diocese.
The disappearance of Mons. Antonio Cantisani represents a serious loss not only for the Catanzaro Church but for the entire city of Catanzaro. Cantisani was Bishop of our city for over 20 years (from 1980 to 2003), a period of great urban development in the city, which saw the birth of what today is the new city suburbs (Orangeto, Pistoia and Raven). Cantisani’s attention to these realities was immediate and constant in time and allowed the creation of the three parish churches which, especially in the Pistoia district, still represent one of the few points of reference, as well as on a religious level, even at the level social. Even the Orangeto church wanted to dedicate it to the blessed Domenico Lentini, originally from his own home town (Lauria). Mons. Cantisani, in its twenty-year episcopal period in Catanzaro, has been a certain reference point for all those city realities engaged in the reception and integration of all kinds of diversity and on the social justice front, including for the responsibilities held at the level National as head of the IEC commission on migrants (from 1985 to 1995) and as a member (from 1990) of the Papal Council for Migrants and Travellers, paying particular attention to the reality of the ethnic Roma aggregations present in the Pontifical Council Our city. In this constant commitment to the last and forgotten, we cannot help but remember his firm stand against the Bossi-Fini law.
Mons. Cantisani wanted to continue living in our city even after the end of his episcopal term, demonstrating once again his attachment to our land and continuing, even as Emeritus Bishop, to carry out his mission with great discretion Prophetic and supportive to all those engaged in the forefront of building a church ′′ camp hospital ′′ as expressed today by Pope Francis. The provincial coordination of Libera, in the certainty that the action carried out by Mons. Cantisani will continue to show its positive fruits even after his passing, expressing his condolences to his family members.
