Busto Arsizio, January 17, 2011 - Few Orthodox faithful who Bust attend liturgies in the church of San Giovanni Chrysostom, housed in a space of the church of San Carlo made available from the parish of St. Michael. In the city there are about 600, but to participate in religious celebrations are few.

For the most part you of people coming from Eastern Europe, working mainly as caregivers and their working hours in families in which caring for the elderly in many cases impossible to participate in the liturgical moments Sunday morning. Just a week of prayer for Christian Unity January 18 to 25 an opportunity to reflect on this situation.

Definitely a good initiative. Us that these days we could see the flow of the faithful who attended the various functions during the Christmas season in our parish, we can testify that the 'eastern' have a particularly strong link with religious traditions and not related to the holidays. Give to the faithful of the Eastern Rite (and not only them) belong to any church, this possibility is not merely an act of charity but of justice.

Obviously it takes prudence, flexibility and common sense, given the different timing of the celebrations, the Eastern Rite churches and a greater number of "parties" that have their midweek religious importance. This can also be an ecumenical gesture of "welcome" to promote not only the worship according to their spiritual and liturgical traditions, but also the peaceful coexistence of peoples, languages, rituals, religions, even in the same context.
