\n\u201cNow more than ever, it is important for all of us to be united. We won\u2019t be saved alone. We will be able to save ourselves only by fighting and praying for each other.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cI have been here in Italy for two years, and I joined the Community of Sant\u2019Egidio, which is a family for me. I feel very happy, very protected, and blessed by God to have found this great community.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
