Tarcisio Mezzetti

As for me, behold,
my covenant is with you:
thou shalt become a father
Of a multitude of nations

Genesis 17:4

Although not the “founder” of the Magnificat Community in the strict sense, Tarcisio Mezzetti was for a long time – especially in the first part of the community’s history, being the protagonist of various founding moments – its best known and most active member both for the roles he held in the Community and in the Renewal in the Spirit, and – above all – for his tireless activity as an evangelizer, a promoter of community life and in particular, for the experience of the healing seminars that he personally led in various places in Italy, attended by a large number of people for many years.

To him the Lord entrusted foundational prophecies of community, from “With Jesus, on Jesus, build!” to the “Four Promises“.

In January 2026, the General Assembly of the Magnificat Community decided to take the necessary steps with a view to initiating, at the competent Ecclesiastical Authority, the canonicalprocess for Tarcisio’s cause of beatification, according to the norms laid down by the Church.
