Covid-19, like an invisible enemy, suddenly destroyed our certainties, while offering us the opportunity for a restart. Looking at reality through the eyes of the least, as Don Luigi Di Liegro invited us to do, is not a question of charity, but of justice.
Now more than ever, as citizens and as 'adult' Christians, we must commit ourselves to the task of volunteering restore dignity and the right to express and realize one's needs and aspirations to those on the margins of society. We must reawaken in those who live secluded - these are again Don Luigi's words - the anxiety of the outside.
Even in the field of mental health it is not about healing others, but about heal our gaze on others, in the awareness that in volunteering the more you contribute to the common good, the more you receive in return.
Citizenship, discernment, hope are the guiding words.
