If there is a danger for my soul, it is certainly not that I have loved too little, but that I have loved too much—meaning even to the point of taking them to bed. And then, who will ever be able to love boys to the bone without, in the end, putting it up their backside, if not a teacher who, together with them, also loves God, fears hell, and longs for heaven?
[Don Lorenzo Milani]
Don Lorenzo Milani, prophet of the Tuscan and Italian Church, whom Pope Francis defined as “a witness and interpreter of social and economic transformation”, had as his motto “I care”, that is, “It matters to me, I am interested, it is close to my heart”.
[Pope Leo XIV]
