Welcome to the blog of Foscarmis. You may ask what is FOSCARMIS? FOSCARMIS is the Solidarity Fund of the Carmelite Missionaries, which seeks to sensitize men and women of goodwill to reach out and to collaborate in the different situations faced by many of our brothers and sisters today.
To be solidary is to have the mind and heart open to listen to the cries of the people and to know the right moment to extend a hand.
Solidarity is a virtue that is learned from childhood, when we were taught in our homes generous gestures towards others: gestures of help, of compassion, of mercy.
To be solidary is to know that someone at my side is living moments of loneliness and pain. It is to perceive the need of the other and to reach out to him/her so that, from his/her possibilities and with our help, the situation can be overcome.
SOLIDARITY
To keep the eyes attentive always
to the cry of pain of others, listening to their cry for help
is Solidarity.
To feel like one’s own the suffering of the brother
near and far, owning the anguish of the poor is Solidarity.
Becoming a messenger of the sincere and fraternal embrace,
some peoples send to others
is Solidarity.
Allowing oneself to be moved by a message loaded with hope, love and peace,
to the point of shaking hands the brother’s hand
is Solidarity.
(Leonidas Proaño)
