Small acts of solidarity at all ages

20151029-01“We also felt the need to do something for all the poor families in our city. And we discovered that here in Teramo (Italy), the Caritas association runs an emporium where they collect basic goods for those in need. And so, with our parents, we visited this emporium and having discovered – to our great joy – that some bakers in the city donate not only the leftovers but also fresh bread, we decided to take eggs, jam, toilet paper, and refreshing tissues (since, as they said, they work like water). We filled up three trolleys with gifts!!! We all, kids and adults were all very happy, because we discovered a way of helping people who have nothing to eat. Now that we know about this special supermarket, we shall return and try to involve all our friends.” (The gen4 and gen3 boys and girls of Teramo, Italy)

Living the Gospel: in search of those who are lost

Living the Gospel: in search of those who are lost

In the parable of the lost sheep, Jesus asks us to watch over those around us, to go in search of anyone who strays and to show the same care and gentleness as the shepherd in our relationships and friendships. Seeking, finding one another, going out to meet others and at the same time, experiencing the joy of being loved are all an invitation to gratitude for the mercy that God has for each of us.
