Did you want the bicycle? And now it’s time to pedal! After all, the beautiful season has now arrived and the bike is the right way to enjoy nature and also get back into shape if necessary. But not before a special blessing.
Thus, on the morning of Sunday 7 April, many enthusiasts met at the Sanctuary of the Madonna dei Fiori in Bra for a celebration of sharing and friendship that is now a classic.
It is with this spirit that Don Enzo Torchio entrusted to the Madonna cyclists, family members, trips, excursions and cycling adventures that will last a year.
Group photos and exchanges of jokes were the moments that closed a wonderful collective experience and opened a new season of sport. All in t-shirts and shorts, united by a passion for two wheels and faith.
During the Mass, deceased cycling companions were remembered, including an intimate prayer from the cyclist. Which reads like this: «Holy Virgin, we are gathered here to ask for your protection at sunrise, with trembling hearts, with our bicycle, we set off for distant destinations. Guide us, O Virgin, on our journey, keep every misfortune away from us, hide in our hearts and encourage us to do good, to brotherhood, to peace.”
So are you ready to pump up your tyres, check the bell, put some oil on your chain and set off?
