“Some faithful, in church to recite the rosary, were invited by Caritas volunteers to pray in silence. A faithful responded “Put the migrants into another church.” Then arrived the parish priest, don Rito, who accompanied the women to another place of worship.”

“Dear men and women religious, empty convents are not for the Church to transform into hotels and make money from them. Empty convents are not ours, they are for the flesh of Christ: refugees. The Lord calls us to be generous and courageous in welcoming people into empty convents. Of course this is no simple task; discernment and responsibility are required; but courage is also needed. We do a great deal; perhaps we are called to do more, by welcoming and sharing what Providence has given us to serve others, with determination.”
