The Community of Sant'Egidio with feelings of sadness and affectionate gratitude reminds Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, his great witness as pastor and his love for the Word of God
The deep knowledge of the Scriptures, he preached in the seventies in the outskirts of Rome with Sant'Egidio when he was rector of the Gregorian University, his love for the weak and the poor, his passion for peace and dialogue, shared in many years of friendship, remain for all as a precious heritage of his evangelical passion for the Church and for our time. |
