Journey has ended in the world of youth fragility undertaken by Lions through the District Service “They wanted to sew my wounds with points of view” Designed by the Member of the Lions Club Messina Ionio Francesco Russoand welcomed in recent months in many high schools of Messina and its province as well as, for the first time, at the University of Messina.
The meeting in a crowded Aula Magna of the Istituto Superiore del Eduzazione Antonello, in fact, the last of the fourteen meetings on the theme of the fragility that this time was declined in terms of the abuse of alcoholic substances by young people through the relationships of Fernando Parrotto Rizzello Professor of the Pontifical Lateran University of Rome, and the Carabinieri captain Federico Mucciacciaro; Among the interventions those of the agents of the traffic police and the Guarantor for childhood and adolescence John Amantehave woven a rich plot starting from the concepts of limit, respect and listening.
And it is precisely from the concept of limit that the brilliant relationship of Parrotto took the move which reflected together with the boys on how, From the experience of the limit as a refuge by the isolation caused by the failure to align with the “hard” model which is now proposed by society as a single thought, one must move on to a concept of limit intended as the origin of one’s fragility From which, however, the beauty and uniqueness of each of us must be identified to consciously build our personality.
More practical character, however, had the intervention of Captain Mucciacciaro and the agents Rosaria Maira and Ivan Lanzo of the traffic police who offered a concrete contribution through which the boys came into contact with the devastating effects that the overcoming of the “limit” deriving from the abuse of alcoholic substances determines in reality.
The service, organized in the form of the Inter Club, was opened by the greetings of Mariangela Giammella and Domenico Arenarespectively presidents of the Messina Ionian Lions Club and Messina Peloro Messina Club.
The Guarantor lover proposed a reflection on the figure and role of parents and educators, presenting the possibilities for students to make his voice heard through the institutions such as that he represented.
The event represents the last stage of the service that will end April 28 with the meeting of Msgr. Antonio Staglianò, president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology and the students of the schools and the University of Messina.
