________________________________
At age 7, young Guido was drawn to visit a large crucifix of Christ in a small chapel across from his school. He formed a relation this way with the person of Christ, as he later stated, "He looked at me and said many things to me! ... it is a miraculous crucifix: I owe my vocation to it." As a priest, and later as bishop, he worked out this calling, founding the Xaverian Missionaries on the feast of St. Francis Xavier, Dec. 3, 1895. Struggling with difficulties getting the foundation on its feet, and the challenge of a lifetime of poor health, he was a man of wisdom, insight and peace. He sought, and asked his missionaries to pursue "a spirit of living faith which enables us to see God, seek God, love God in all things, intensifying our desire to spread his kingdom everywhere," and a calling to mission with a goal "to make of humanity a single family." In the laying of the cornerstone of the mother house in 1900, Bishop Magani stated, "From this nest the young eagles of the Gospel will fly to bring faith to those that still live in darkness..." They continue this work today.
