THE HOMILY - "The pain is enormous , the evil seems to have won. Today we almost whisper, because we feel very small, we whisper, to every heart and every life, especially to father Vittorio and mother Tania, we whisper that the good is more strong of the evil . We will live the pain together, we will not allow ourselves to crumble ". This was said by the parish priest of Castenaso, Don Giancarlo Leonardi , in a passage from the homily. At the opening of the celebration, the parish priest also read a message from the archbishop or Matteo Zuppi . "Since Sunday - the priest said - we have seen the chronicle of a tragedy, we have gathered readings, rereadings, judgments: a shouting that has created an echo of reactions. It seems that everyone has a word to say and that there are many teachers. Alessia and Giulia's family from Sunday we see an infinite pain, the risk is falling into the abyss in cynicism. Papa Vittorio calls it the 'tunnel'. What is the truth? What do we see today with the eyes of the heart? We see two daughters , Alessia and Giulia, grown-up wishes, loved and cared for. We see a father who has built his work with talent and lived for his daughters. We see a mother petrified by grief and we see a sister , Stefania , who was a mother and a friend. We see a generous family where everyone is united ".
Alessia and Giulia , the priest continued, “were experiencing the freedom of love , of desires, of the great dreams of life. Those two hearts, those two souls are inhabited by God: I see God in them . Alessia and Giulia scream today, we whispered, they shout to our world of adults and to our world of adults they shout that we must believe in them, that we must not simply deliver judgment, suspicion, but we must deliver esteem ".
