Five years ago, the leaders of the United Nations’ humanitarian organizations made an urgent appeal to all those who could put an end to the conflict in Syria and asked them to enact all possible efforts to save the Syrian people. “Enough is enough,” they said, of so much suffering and bloodshed.

On March 8, it will be the turn of Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi who will hold a lecture at 18:30 on the verse of Psalm 33 (34): “This poor cried, and the Lord heard him.” The Eucharistic adoration will precede the conference, at 5:30 pm, while at 7:30 pm, immediately after the meeting with Cardinal Ravasi, a “poor dinner” is scheduled, whose donations will be given to the Social Vincentian Center.
Because of the 400 years of the Vincentian charism – recently celebrated with the jubilee that gathered in Rome at the International Symposium to representatives of the numerous Vincentian Family Worldwide – the realization of the project “We cultivate integration: flowers and fruits in the land of asylum” was possible, thanks to the synergy between the Vincentian Family, the Social Cooperative Society “Tre Fontane,” the non-profit association Linaria and Mrs. Margherita Grasselli. The motto of the Jubilee: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me…” (Mt 25, 35) has in this initiative a concrete example of what it truly means to welcome.
