Life, Chronicle.. Adriana Sabato

Alessia lost her father, and since then nothing was more important… For a long, long time…

      What a strange custom to applaud in church during the celebration of baptisms or at the end of the funeral or even worse over the weddings!!! They believed they were the only ones to think that way… But sometimes someone agreed with their way of thinking… Lorenzo always said: “This is not a show”; and Alessia added: “We are not at the theater or to watch a circus show!” Nevertheless, many people liked this custom, but someone as them hated that strange tradition.

      While attending Sunday Mass with her family, Alessia thought people should not talk in the church and if needed, at least, they should go out. “And sometimes you two do it, too” Alessia avowed… “But sometimes me too…” she thought “Then?”…

      If the Pope has stepped down, he may have his own reasons. The Catholic Church is not living a flourishing time, and a Pope who has already a certain age, beyond the many brainstorms in the news, he may not withstand heavy situations requiring fresh and vigorous energies… In a few days, we will know who will be elected to lead the Church. We all await the conclave, but everyone also expects that things will change in this Europe, in this Italy that seems to implode at any moment. Alessia had never followed the political life, but alas, she thought more and more frequently this is a mania that, sooner or later, takes you, not least because you live it and by living it you necessarily become part of it… And that's why she was not very versed in certain situations. It is certain that she was looking forward, and not just her, of speaking about that bad time as a past, overcome and forever buried event.
