Lent 2024 : Meditation N°6 from Don Marco Bove
Life in our communities
Communities that meet
''Faith and Light is founded on the belief that each person with an intellectual disability is fully a person with all the rights of a human being : above all the right to be loved, recognized and respected for himself or herself and in the choices he/she makes. Faith and Light believes that every person, able-bodied or disabled, is equally loved by God and that Jesus lives in them." (Charter II, 1)
Communities with young children
For many parents of young children with an intellectual disability, it is difficult to look into the future, and so difficult to be at ease in a community with adults suffering from disabilities. They only have just enough strength to live from day to day with the small child. This is how communities with young children were created.
Fidelity time
Friendship becomes deeper when you take the time to be together. Between gatherings, members of the community like to meet up in small groups, or simply by two or three: this is the time of fidelity.
The Feast of Light

Let's go together on holidays
Monthly meetings are often short and particularly in communities where there are a lot of members, people don't always have the time to talk to every one and listen to them.
