\n\nOPERA M – PROJECT M33<\/span>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

OPERA M is the revolution of the works of mercy. It is the permanent instrument for developing a strong and renewed vision of the works in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It stems from an urgent need strongly felt by spazio + spadoni to rE<\/strong>volutionize the concept of a work of mercy as a journey that is always both human and divine at the same time, and therefore always spiritual as well as practical (or corporal). The rediscovery, indeed, the true rE<\/strong>volution of the works must be rediscovered within this synthesis between the spiritual aspect and practical action. Material action must always be permeated by the spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OPERA M is based on five actions that define its method: INVOKE, call upon the Spirit LISTEN, be silent to open yourself to listening MEET, be among the people LET US ACT, act for the works LET US FLOOD, bring everyone to the Works of Mercy Spiritual Works of Mercy<\/strong> Counsel the doubtful Instruct the ignorant Admonish sinners Comfort the afflicted Forgive offenses Bear patiently those who wrong us Pray to God for the living and the dead Corporal Works of Mercy<\/strong> Feed the hungry Give drink to the thirsty Clothe the naked Shelter pilgrims Visit the sick Visit prisoners Bury the dead<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
