The Community Pope John XXXIII: a shared life for the needy

Jesus in his Gospel taught us to take care of the weakest, in fact the whole Bible from the old to the new testament speaks to us of a God who helps the orphan and the widow and after his son Jesus when he lived on Earth both with the examples and with preaching he taught us how to care and love for the poor.

This teaching is fully implemented by the Pope John XXXIII Community. In fact, the members of this association help people in need and less fortunate than us. The community is present all over the world with over 60 family homes outside Italy managed by missionaries. The community was founded by Don Oreste Benzi and immediately after a few years had a rapid development.

The community is widespread throughout Italy with family houses, canteens of the poor and evening reception. I can't deny that it works well enough in fact one day while I was in Bologna for a spiritual retreat I met a homeless man who spoke well enough of the John XXXIII community.

In addition to the help of the poor, the community is active for the little lucky children of their own families. In fact, their activity consists in placing these children in real families made of father and mother who have joined the community project and have transformed their home into a family home and therefore ready to host these children in the hands of social services. Then they help the poor, make a life of prayer and love being together. They also have homes to help people with diendence.

In short, the John XXXIII community is a true structure that has its roots on the rock, on the teaching of Jesus Christ. In fact, helping the weak, taking care of the needy is the teaching of the founder Don Oreste.

I recommend talking to your parish priests about this community to join their activities in the Churches and to communicate to them the people they need. Personally, many times I have reported to the community people in difficulty and have always had effective help. Then in the family homes we read the Gospel, pray, socialize, then the person in difficulty who has lost dignity thanks to the fraternity of the members finds everything he needs, not only material but also moral and spiritual help.

The John XXXIII community supports itself with donations, so those who can also through the online site can help, with a small amount, this association to carry out their business without problems.
