A wise man said, "Every man
is a missionary, now and forever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or
designs it or not."
Today, eleventh of March, fourth
Sunday of the Lent, we celebrate the Sunday of joy, Lætare. And we Orionine
are also celebrating the "Orionine Mission Sunday", the Mission Day
of the children of Don Orione. This, brethren, is for all of us, especially,
for you. Because we are the beneficiaries of the Orionine mission. The theme of
this day is, "The Mission at the Center of Orionine's life".
You all know who Don Orione is.
He was called, "Apostle of Charity", the Apostle of love. For Saint
Luigi Orione, charity is the ultimate expression of love. The Love of God as we
have heard in the Gospel today is also called Charity. And Saint Luigi Orione
believes that, 'Charity, and only Charity will save the world'.
