Thoughts for every day

Jun 3rd

Jesus burns with the most tender love for us. The hour of sacrifice arrives and the tragic scene of a God who dies crucified by man is seen. Why did he do it? Not for other reasons, but because he loved us. (Pastoral Letter, Lent, 1878)
From the Book "Caminando con Scalabrini, 365 Pensamientos del Bienaventurado Juan B. Scalabrini"

The People we Serve

The world of migration displays a great variety of situations. Some groups of migrants preserve and develop the human and Christian riches of their ancestral heritage and so become a contributing force for the progress and enrichment of civil and ecclesial society. Other groups, instead, are still living the experience of migration in its most painful and discriminatory aspects. Even those who may have achieved a satisfactory economic position often remain in a poverty of rights, of recognition, of ability to communicate, and, above all, in a poverty of faith and religious spirit that is more painful than economic poverty itself.

In all this variety of situations, we remain faithful to our specific mission and keep rediscovering our charism, as we place ourselves at the service of those people whose conditions, needs, and longings are analogous to those that induced our Founder to give life to the Congregation.

Therefore, in a spirit of fidelity to the MANDATE he gave us and in keeping with the realities of the contemporary world, we dedicate ourselves to all those who, because of migration and out of real necessity, require a specific pastoral care. And in accordance with the will of the Church, the intentions of our Founder, and the history of the Congregation, we reaffirm our preferential option - from among all those we are to serve - for those migrants who are more acutely living the drama of migration.

We have the duty always to make sure that our existing works, and those we intend to take on, are truly in line with the specific purpose and vital needs of the Congregation.
