People Stretching Their Labias

Con grande tristezza e molta rabbia per il potere e la violenza della droga, voglio fare memoria dell'amico don Ruggero.

Ricordiamo tutti la sua grande umanitá, la semplicitá con cui ti avvicinava, ma allo stesso tempo la dedizione e l'impegno al Centro Missionario Diocesano...

Chiediamo a don Ruggero di accompagnarci tutti nel cammino di ogni giorno, perché ciascuno di noi, a suo modo e nel suo contesto, ce la metta tutta per fermare la morsa del male che stringe nella sua presa soprattutto i piú poveri.
