Saint Joseph Benedict Cottolengo - The Saint of Total Abandonment to Divine Providence (1786-1842). This great servant of God founded an immense complex in Turin, Italy, a wonder of Christian genius. He surnamed it the Little House of Divine Providence, in which a common objective is pursued in harmony: the relief of physical and spiritual sufferings. 80 pages + ill.

In Turin, Italy, there is an immense complex, virtually a small city in itself, called the "Piccola Casa della Divina Provvidenza".  (The Little House of Divine Providence.)  It contains a dozen religious communities of men and women and "families" of seculars, each one dedicated to some kind of charitable work or to the contemplative life.  They harmoniously share a common objective:  the relief of their neighbor's physical and spiritual suffering.  The founder of this extraordinary work is the Saint whose story is related here.
