Comments on 'to meet the cohabitation' ACSE of January 30, 2011 ROME
LIVING 1, 2011 - Sunday, January 30 was held on the day of "LIVING TOGETHER "organized at the ACS headquarters in Via del Buon Consiglio, 19. We have gathered some forty people of various nationalities. C 'were representatives of India, a bunch of Bangla Desh, Uganda, Sudan, Finland, Congo, Peru, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, Burundi, Mauritius, Togo, Cameroon and Italy. The purpose of 'meeting made the afternoon after lunch, was to reflect on the difficulties of marriage and in particular of mixed marriages. Conducting the interview the Dr.sa Valeria, marriage counselor University of the Sacred Heart, with this and her husband Julius lawyer Enza Giuffrè, she marimoniale consultant at the same University. Participated in 'meeting also Mr. Franco Pittau responsible for the statistical services of Caritas, with a speech "very interesting, "he explained not only the 'utility, the national need for the presence of immigrants in Italy and invited us to perform an action to raise awareness at all levels to communicate to all these ideas:
1 - L' Italy to survive requires the presence of immigrants.
2 - There are false rumors to that in forty years the majority of Italians will be in 50 years because Muslim immigrants potrenno at the maximum about 12 million of which a large number of Christians out of a total of about 67 million inhabitants .
3 - It 's so unfair and reprehensible fomenting false fears by blaming immigrants for all possible wrongdoing, when in the immigrant crime is the same type of proportion of italianai. Unfortunately in Italy there is a policy against immigrants who copy the same attitudes of years ago when he tried to dismiss the "southerners" or Southern Italians, coming to write on the doors of public bar, "prohibited the 'inlet and dogs Southern!
4 - Do not forget that right now we have the presence of 5 million immigrants who help 3 million Italian families such as caretakers, domestic workers and home making himself indispensable, and millions more in the field of agriculture, 'and construction industry' s. Finally, "Immigrants pay more than the public housing that they take as benefits and social services. "With the addition of 7 billion a year to social security contributions, which led to fiscal consolidation INPS. (Pages 124 of "Immigration and the Labour Market"). Without them, skip the pensions of the Italians! We thank Franco Pittau "Caritas of Rome" for the information provided with the free distribution of books following:
- "Immigration and the Labour Market" by "European Migration Network
-" Roman Observatory on Migration "Seventh Report
- "Places of encounter and prayer immigrants and the Province of Rome, "a collaboration between the Diocese and Caritas Migrantes in Rome and Lazio.
These books we need to be informed and to inform objectively about an issue that most people know only by hearsay, or suggestions inspired by the fear fomented by someone who has interests to defend dirty. Fenomeo will help us to look at the "Immigration" with sympathy and openness.
On the issue of the difficulties of "marriages" and "mixed marriages" we concluded:
All marriages are mixed because in normal cases, the spouses come from cultures, ideologies, or even different faiths. Pugliese A man who marries a Ligure have similar difficulties with a Finnish man who marries a Milanese or an African who marries an Italian. Basically: the more differences, the more difficult.
How? Here are some of Cruising:
a) You must know before getting married addressing and discovering all the differences, studying how to overcome them or accept them. The mutual acquaintance should be no dramas.
b) You must always tell the truth ... with humility, charity and love
c) You must learn to manage conflicts
d) must be available to another
e) You have to listen and communicate ...
f) You have to forgive and ask forgiveness
g) You must always defend the 'LOVE, saving children
h) You must be willing to sacrifice
i) must take into account the communities where we live without rejection or of being enslaved. In fact, there is the community (families, communities, religious or social) and are a great value, despite the possible limits. These suggestions are born from 'listening to the experiences of some of these foreigners, who had made marriages with Italians, telling us about the difficulties oncontrate.
The climate of the meeting was very brotherly and has shown that people from such different backgrounds and cultures can live together in peace and be friends.
This is the main objective of these meetings, which of course are not difficult pocje
The day had started the morning with the celebration of Holy Mass , open to Christians and those who vollesse, we had proposed the readings of the word God that was really a challenge for us all. The first reading of the prophet Zephaniah said inter alia: (Sof.3, 12). . "Tell no lies, no more will be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue ..." In (I Cor. 1:27-28) it says: ... "But what is foolish in the world, God chose to confound the wise, what is weak for the world God has chosen to shame the strong "... the Gospel of the Beatitudes and then completes the 'idea, saying that what is foolishness to the world, but life is for those who believe: ( Mt.5 0.4 to 7)" Blessed are those who weep because Sarano consulates. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful. They will receive mercy. " ... etc..
This is certainly the biggest challenge for us that we too often believe the wise men of Terrra. We need humility and truth if we want to save Verame.
As always, the dish of macaroni offered by ACS joined with other succulent dishes offered by the participants. Truly a beautiful demonstration of universal brotherhood! God leads us, driving is still long, but the road is marked! Claudio P.
