Incorrupt Body of St. Luigi Orione






Tomb of Don Orione at the Sancutary of the Madonna della Guardia in Tortona.

He lived from 1872-1940.  By the grace of God we were at his canonization in 2004.

  1. His body is not covered with wax, isn't it?

  2. His body seems to be decomposing slowly. Not incorrupt at all.

    He founded 6 religious Orders....6. priests and Sisters. Amazing.

    Vatican II wrecked them, of course.

    He even founded a very tiny community of hermits-monks (now extinct after Vatican II), called the Order of St. Albert.

  7. I have been studying the incorruptible saints for only a short time. Of all the pictures of the "incorruptible" saints I've seen so far, this one of San
    Lluigi Orione looks most authentic. His face and hands are not covered in a thin layer of wax like most of the others (e.g. Bernadette of Lourdes). Absolutely amazing!
