Letter to young people

Rome (Italy) In this time of quarantine for the coronavirus emergency, video messages of the Educating Communities of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians around the world, are effective ways in this time of Pandemic Covid-19 to reach young people, to feel that they are accompanied despite the distance, and to bring them a message of hope.

In a video message entitled ‘Letter to the young’, prepared by the Province of St. Gabriel the Archangel in Chile (CIL), the FMA reach all young people with a choral message that ideally travels from Mornese to all the Educating Communities of the world, to express closeness and to share the hope that courtyards and environments will soon be able to fill up with the voices and presence of young people.

“Although there is the immense sea that divides us, we can see each other and approach each moment in the heart of Jesus, we can always pray for one another, so our hearts will always be united” (M. Mazzarello). Like one heart, the FMA from different parts of the world have united ensuring prayer especially for those who are suffering from coronavirus.

A message of unity for the young people of the world urging them to have courage, to get up, to hope: “Get up” also means “dream”, “take risks”, “committed to change the world”, rekindle your desires, contemplate the sky, the stars, the world around you. “Get up and become what you are!” Thanks to this message, many dull faces of young people around us will come to life and become much more beautiful than any virtual reality “(Pope Francis, Message for the 35th World Youth Day).
