Sono stati appena tre minuti, ma sono bastati per spezzare vite umane, per spezzare il cuore di tanti amici cileni, per spezzare edifici storici tra cui tantissime chiese, ma non per spezzare la voglia di rialzarsi, la voglia di lottare.
Si sono interrotti cammini, crollati ponti, il mare ha rotto i suoi argini naturali seminando una distruzione unica, peró non é morto il seme della speranza; incidents of looting of supermarkets and shops, as sad and most regrettable that they have no power to remove the largest human dignity and the beauty of our Chilean friends.
Three minutes apocalyptic, as three brothers of this new community.
There is no doubt that the arrival in this beautiful city in southern Chile will remember him forever and more than good. Eight hours before the earthquake we were in the drafting of a local newspaper, one of the oldest in Chile, "Prensa", a building full of history, which overlooked the main square of the city, next to the cathedral: what is left is a pure aggregation di macerie!!
Ci siamo shakerati davvero bene: nella stanza i libri della mini-librería arrivavano sotto e sopra il letto come discoboli e qualcuno é arrivato al bersaglio (il sottoscritto, rimasto nel letto pensando e dicendosi con convinzione: “peró finirá, finirá”…) come un commentario al vangelo di san Luca del Fausti che ha centrato la gamba sinistra lasciando, come simpatica traccia, una “patata” che al momento brilla colori piú che quaresimali.
Solo a scossone terminato ci siamo rotrovati nel giardinetto di entrata alla casa: stavamo bene, felici di ritrovarci senza problemi. Una rapida e sommaria ricognizione della casa mostrava that nothing was left in its place: the fall of the tabernacle in the chapel, a San Antonio Wood, an icon of Our Lady ... however, remained intact or with minor scratches. Nothing really thinking about what had happened and was happening in Curico, in coastal resorts and other cities and countries even closer to the epicenter.
An earthquake that "breaks" an earthquake "Join".
Arriving in Santiago Curicó from where I left off ten years of "great human enrichment," I tried from the beginning a deep sympathy for the new friends that the Lord put in my path. An experience like this is strong reflect and to the side of pain, impotence, there is the feeling of pain felt the strong call to unite faith, hope and personal abilities to love to faith, hope and love of these new friends. It all makes sense!
We arrived accompanied by the fury of nature that breaks everything he meets but can do nothing against the most beautiful feelings that the human heart is always entertained and always palaces.
that the communion between the three of us brothers and people can be stronger and more real looking its source in God, a God who never leaves the man, especially when it seems so far away mysteriously.
Fra Giuseppe
