Around you has grown a spiritual and apostolic movement. The Little Work of Divine Providence wishes, with its various families, to spread the Sensus Christi and the spirit of the love of Jesus and of his holy Catholic Church, our Mother, through works of mercy. It wishes to religiously and socially elevate the working classes, to save them from fatalistic and disinheriting ideologies, to build up and unite the people in Christ. Its field of work is charity. However, truth and justice are never excluded.
Charity is put into practice in truth and justice.
Tell us about this. As I said to Don Luigi Gamaleri when I read to him the aim of the Society, the essential element which keeps together all the families which make up the Work of Divine Providence - hermits, workers, adorers, dames, colleges, sisters, priests, etc. Even though it has only one faith, one soul, one heart, one government, it continues to develop various activities according to the many different needs of those it meets. It adapts itself, by the love of Christ, to the several ethnic criteria of the nations to which the hand of God directs it. It is not therefore unilateral, but, so as to sow Christ, faith and civilisation, it creates and promotes diversity in its houses, taking into account, in its apostolate, the experiences and suggestions of the local authorities.
