Ciao Ragazzi!
What a day we all had today. We started out with a trip Caritas, and
this long awaited trip was well worth the wait. We learned about the
available means for the incoming immigrants, their situations and
their stories. But most importantly we learned about how much the
employees at Caritas truly care about the people that walk through
their doors. The manager of the center even told us a story that
occurred almost 10 years ago. These people dedicate their time,
connections and hearts to the immigrants that enter their offices, its
truly touching.
After Caritas we headed to the focal point of the Catholic religion,
The Vatican. We saw painting from every time period, every art style
and every available type of creative outlet. Painting, sculpting and
even tapestry were available for viewing. The most remarkable and
debatable pieces we saw was of course the Sistine Chapel. This
incredible dome that has every inch of Michaelangelo’s style in each
stroke had people feeling very difference emotions. Some felt let
down, the art didn’t live up to the hype it had been given while
others stood in awe at the masterpiece above their heads.
Overall the day was long, exhausting and truly exhilarating. Caritas
showed us much about the cities efforts in immigration and how giving
the human heart can be. The Vatican was an expression of the talents
among past and present artist as well as the capability for people to
have authentic faith. Even the unreligious can feel a sense of
divinity in the incredible surroundings of the Vatican.
Buona Sera Tutti!
