We report some photos of the first stage made by some pilgrims on September 2, 2017. They left the Abbey of pompous to get close to Porto Garibaldi.

These poems were read at the 18 May meeting in Alfonsine. Written by Maria Babini, she went to the Father’s house in April 2017. She often said that her little feet had never worn shoes, but how much “they had walked”! Last year, reflecting on the “labor of humanity”, he invoked the Mercy:

“COME with the party dress,
bring a brazier with you,
in which with red hot stone
annihilates the tumors of the earth;
come barefoot and on the sands
that are our uncertainties,
challenge and brighten hearts with trees, flowers …
and place us in a thick wood,
ventilated, rich in fruit,
food for the exhausted soul,
come with sounds
as delicate as they are powerful,
because our ears
they need you,
to counteract deafness
and sadness.
Come with the party dress!
(Maria Babini, Alfonsine, 13-01-2016)

Another invocation, which Maria made on the occasion of a shipwreck of African boys:
 
“LORD come,
the sea that was the basin of the most important and ancient civilization,
this same sea is
become red of innocent dead.
Lord, come,
this mortal sin
it has extended to all latitudes!
Lord come,
to understand the echo, and counts, in our place,
like beads of rosary, responsibilities,
amplify the possibility of our hearts,
correct the capacities of our minds
and accept this cry
why it is possible to save us,
despite the indifference
and total plagiarism.
LORD, come! “(Maria Babini, Alfonsine, January 31st 2016)

On 18 May the itinerary was also presented to Alfonsine, with the changes made in 2017. From now on the route will start from the Pomposa Abbey. Following the article of the small of June 2017

a particular thanks to the scouts who contributed to the signage of the route

articolo pubblicato sul Resto del Carlino del 7 Luglio 2016

“In occasione del Giubileo straordinario della Misericordia, il Piccolo segnala la Viae Misericordiae. Ad Iesumper Mariam”: un’occasione per vivere un’esperienza di fede attraverso un cammino che si snoda fra le ricchezze artistiche, naturalistiche ed enogastronomiche dell’Appennino faentino.
L’itinerario propone un percorso spirituale che colpisce il cuore, facendo riscoprire il valore di un turismo nel segno della preghiera. L’iniziativa si presenta come simbolo concreto del cammino di conversione verso l’abbraccio misericordioso di Dio, a cui invita Papa Francesco,meditando sull’esempio di vita di Gesù, di Maria e dei santi. La Viae Misericordiae è un porsi in cammino, un muoversi verso un nuovo modo di relazionarsi con se stessi, gli altri e la realtà che ci circondano;ma soprattutto un mettersi in gioco prendendo sul serio il bisogno di misericordia che anima il cuore.”
