Milan, 24 August (LaPresse) – “Pope Paul VI said that the Pope’s heart is like a seismograph, which records the suffering of others. It is precisely this that makes us human and helps us to understand others and to make their suffering – but also their hopes – our own. It has been a difficult ten years. The process is not yet complete; whilst we are aware of how much has been achieved, we are still in limbo: ‘Amatrice is no longer there, and yet it is not yet here’, but piece by piece it is re-emerging, in an effort of colossal proportions and a truly fantastic undertaking.” So said Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI), during his homily at the Mass celebrated this afternoon in Amatrice to mark the 10th anniversary of the earthquake that struck central Italy.
