There are two testimonies that Maurizio di Schino has collected for the “Missionary October” column in the “Nel cuore dei giorni” (In the heart of days) space: Sister Rosanna Marchetti, Missionaries of the Immaculate – P.I.M.E. recently returned from the Brazilian Amazon. In Manaus, together with a lay advocate and a Jesuit priest, she opened a house to welcome women who ask for help in carrying their pregnancies and rebel against abortions imposed on them by husbands, parents or lovers. And via Skype, Father Dario Bossi, a Combonian Missionary, has been in Brazil for 10 years. He is now in St John’s parish in Açailand where the population suffers the consequences of pollution from a blast furnace that works the so-called ‘pig iron’ and a railway on which 24 trains of 330 wagons pass every day: a railway that a multinational would like to double to 58 trains a day.
