A community as big as the world

Luigi Butori is an Italian focolarino living in Ho Chi Minh City. After over 20 years in Asia, he has seen its great beauty but also dramatic situations and contrasts. We went with him to see his work supporting and enabling the poorest of the poor, first in Thailand (see the CH Conference call of September 2015) and now in Vietnam.

The Holy Spirit “recreates” them as a new humanity and this vocation, today, concerns not only each of us, but is fully realized when we are “community” and support for the other.This is how the Gospel becomes life and the mission a new Pentecost.

A group of children in Rome collected 300 euros for the Audio Phonetic Rehabilitation Institute (IRAP) located in Aïn, on the outskirts of Biakout, north of Beirut. They received a very touching letter of thanks. It reminds us of the true value of solidarity and the responsibility to which each of us is called: to be seeds of hope and peace even in the darkness.
