The Gift for Our Silver Wedding Anniversary

Yesterday my wife Elisabetta and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. To the question posed by friends and relatives, “What gift can we give you?” the answer was, “Nothing. We need nothing.” But immediately we realized that wasn’t true.

Dear Fr. Carrón,

Yesterday my wife Elisabetta and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. To the question posed by friends and relatives, “What gift can we give you?” the answer was, “Nothing. We need nothing.” But immediately we realized that wasn’t true. We need Everything. We need a place that sustains us in this desire, in this only necessity: recognizing the presence of Christ in every instant of our daily life as persons, a couple, a family. Grateful for how you accompany us on this journey, we decided to ask those wanting to give us something, to give an offering to the Fraternity.

Elisabetta and Marco, Italy
