That is very odd. My phone is also limited. But at least you have the link so that others may see this.
I ran the article through Google translate St. Francis and St. Benedict, together on their steps between prayer and service RECEIVE THE FRANCISCAN PATH TO CANDID YOU A 'RELIGIOUS EUROPEAN RELIGIOUS' of Editorial Staff In the sign of spirituality and service. The Scouts' path along the streets of central Italy will have this common denominator. In Tuscany, from Sansepolcro in the province of Arezzo, the route promoted by the rovers and the scholastics of the Valtiberina Group will start. "Our trip will be in the footsteps of St. Francis - says the head clan Francesco Del Siena - we will reach the hermitage of La Verna after six days of walking". With them there will be three other communities: the Sicilians of Lentini, the bells of Nocera Superiore and the Venetians of Mira. The section that they will travel is part of the "Franciscan path" that leads from Assisi to the Sanctuary where the saint received the stigmata. "We want to make this ancient road known because together with local institutions we are working to be recognized among the" European religious paths ", such as the way of Santiago and the Via Francigena," says the head clan. Before leaving for San Rossore these four sister clans, along with the other groups who have walked in the same area, will receive the greeting and blessing of the bishop of Arezzo-CortonaSansepolcro, Riccardo Fontana. Between Umbria, Lazio and Molise is instead the "via Benedicti", an itinerary that will be followed by the clans of Roma 422, the Macerata of Monte San Giusto and the Friulans of Monfalcone. This will be a "disabled" route thanks to the availability of the Roman scouts who organized the excursion from Isola del Liri to Roccasecca in the Frosinone area. "We know that there are also young people with disabilities in the Agesci and so we have thought of a path that is suitable for everyone", he explains Alessandro Scozzi, 40, of Roma 422. The community of Monfalcone, which has a scout in a wheelchair, has joined the proposal. "We will do almost all the asphalt road - Alessandro adds - and we will change to push the wheelchair on the climbs we will meet along the way". From today to 6 August in Lazio, 40 mobile camps are planned to approach the "fixed" part of San Rossore. The idea of the regional Agesci is to collect all the itineraries in a publication to create a kind of guide to the territory to offer to scouts and tourists. They chose to live a classic route, made up of mountain trails, the scouts of the Marche-based group of Fermo 1. Their destination is the Sibillini Mountains, from the Gorge dell'Infernaccio to Monte Monaco passing through the lake of Pilato. Along with them there will be the clans of Corbetta-Magenta (Milan) and Bitonto (Bari), for a group formed from the north, center and south of Italy. "We will live in the mobile field typical of the rover and school branches - underlines Carolina Silvetti of Fermo - where community life and sharing are marked by the path. An experience that is repeated every year - concludes the head clan - but every time he succeeds in teaching new things ». Credit Foto - motheofgod.com
