Greetings from Father Gian Paolo Uras, director of the Diocesan Missionary Center of Cagliari, visiting the missions in Tanzania. Hello! In this first leg of my trip, I'm at the mission where Giada Melis, a missionary from Cagliari, has been working for four years. In these few days, I've had a first glimpse of this great African country, with its beauty and challenges, and I've been deeply fascinated. We've visited the communities where Giada serves and had the opportunity to learn more about the life and needs of the area. We are...

On "Cuore Amico," the testimony of two volunteers from Operation Mato Grosso. The work of mercy "educating the ignorant" and the dream of a school. A straw hut, open on the sides, where rain pours in; inside, it has only a few desks and a flip-up blackboard. It's the "school" of the village of Santa Clara, near the city of Campinápolis, in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. It houses the children of the village's indigenous families.

From the Solomon Islands, our correspondent, Sister Anna Maria Gervasoni, tells us about the joy of celebrating Mass in churches "without walls." Happy New Year, everyone! It's true that the year has been going on for quite some time, but good wishes are always welcome. Last year, I was in Italy for the Christmas holidays, and every time I went to Holy Mass or to the various village churches, I thought of ours here in the Solomon Islands. Since we live in a tropical climate, our churches have no walls; they're practically all open, and from inside you can admire the sea and mountain panorama.

Commentary on the Gospel of the Day by Father Giordano Favillini Sunday, February 15, Matthew 5:25 Agree with your adversary quickly while you are on the road with him, so that he does not hand you over to the judge. As long as we walk this earth, let us always reconcile with those we have conflicted with, because once we leave this world, unresolved conflicts will make it difficult for us to find peace. Monday, February 16, Mark 8:12b Truly, I say to you, "No sign will be given to this generation." God grants "signs" to those who believe to strengthen them in their faith. Those who do not believe can misuse or despise them...
