letters from Don Milani, chaplain of St. Donato Calenzano
Don Milani is famous for its social commitment in the near war: he made a mission of education to the popular class, with excellent results and paying in person for his choices.
Here is a quick passage in a letter to a lady of Florence, to which Don Milani demanded money for his school:
" ... I am for the popular school. That night school of which I spoke to her several times where they are young workers. It 's always been the work on which I place no hope. need more bread. Instruct the ignorant, easily get rid of rust in many fine minds at work and in the inferior social brutalized. extend to all the privileges jealous of the children of the rich because it is the key to any achievement. Try to prevent the bloody revolution with a revolution voluntary and interior. Building the intellectual background to the religious revival in a world of poor people who no longer live a Christian life only because his life is not even human.
So are many reasons why the best of my time and my passion I spend on the school. I hope that you will understand me and not fear helping to accelerate the collapse of a world that sooner or later must fall well! "
Now I ask you: His words are still relevant today?
