The simplicity
collection
is an initiative of the Superior general, Mother Maria do Socorro Fortes.
Born from the idea to
make Known the
Sisters
of the Poor
who
lived in an authentic witness
of love. A love that turns out to be completely offered to the
Lord through a simple life lived
in acts of service to the poorest and most needy brothers and
sisters.
The first
three issues of this collection has come out
simultaneously
with
the
event:
feast of the Mother. Every year, this important appointment gathers a lot of sisters together
around the one who is at the centre of our religious family.
Therefore, this feast becomes our feast. A strong moment where we
can meet, share and strengthen the sense of belongingness and
fraternal communion.
On this important
day, on July 23, at our General House we made a
touching memory of:
Anna Virginia Saltini, Giacinta
Romboli and Tecla
Doro. Three sisters that lived deeply,
with different gifts
and modalities,
the charism handed
down to us by our Mother Savina Petrilli.
This important day was characterized by a joyfull pilgrimage. A
journey undertaken on the footsteps of the three witnesses.
Seed
fell on the ground, a short story, will be the climax
of this pilgrimage. Before the end of this beautiful
day, Mother Fortes,
after giving her thanks, made us a
gift: "Semplicità" (simplicity) a song composed for this occasion.
