This morning we welcomed in our school, the pastor of the parish of Cona, Don Francisco, and Mrs. Mariolina president of the provincial committee society San Vincenzo De Paoli. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a Catholic charitable organization founded in 1833 in Paris, who have long work on behalf of poor countries around the world. It 'just to this reality, we turned to donate clothes, toys and food collected during the preparation of the Nativity. Don Francis thanked the children for their generous gesture and said that Mrs. Mariolina will distribute the collected material to needy families in our city. Certainly the word poverty has a complex and sometimes ambiguous meaning: many children associate with the poor black person, not realizing that pockets of poverty may be well hidden even within the family that lives next door. That's why we felt it was right to recall the concept of solidarity on the occasion of Christmas, just because we are aware that only a pure heart and sensitivity of children not affected by prejudice and selfishness, can be cultivated the important seed of generosity. It does not matter, then, what has been donated, it is essential that you have understood the importance of the gesture, sharing a good thing that many do not have the ability to dress the role of empathy for those in need, the satisfaction in ' help someone. Unfortunately, it is plain for all the spread of attitudes of indifference in our society, but we can not resign we must act so that future citizens 'world' is never less than the spirit of charity.
