The idea

• It is essential to give firm support and
  encouragement to those who choose to remain
  faithful to their homeland.
• Benedict XVI

• Being here, living in this environment, you
  slowly become aware that there is a great deal of
  sharing, people who continue to believe in their
  relationships with each other. These small signs
  of life and hope represent a point of departure,
  however small.
• Fr Pizzaballa
