His Telegram they are all successful. Even the Poor Clares sisters of the monastery of San Silvestro, fraction of Curtatone, in Mantuan. The nuns had started a canal Telegram of prayer “Words and Life”, but because of the too many subscribers they decided to suspend the sending of the reflection of the day on the Gospel. The members have, in fact, reached 6 thousand. An unexpected success for the sisters, which translated into a heavy commitment.
“It had become too demanding”, explains the mother superior, Sister Giovanna Zangoli. It was she who took care of choosing the daily comment to be sent on the chat and its relative image. As he tells the Corriere della Sera, he spent the evenings to choose the passage to share the next day. The decision to interrupt is due to other duties, as well as the imminent transfer to the Ferrara monastery.
Each day the chat subscribers communicated their impressions and answered by asking more explanations on the Gospel. Hence the decision of the sisters of suspend your account. The decision to use social networks was born last year and started through WhatsApp. Immediately – however – the number of adhesions received had forced the Poor Clares to move to Telegram.
Now the parish priest, don Cristian Grandelli – among the creators of the initiative – is trying to create a group of collaborators in order to resume the service. There are already two lay volunteers fromPastoral unity di Curtarone willing to take over the management of the channel. Nothing, therefore, will change: soon a symbolic image and a passage of the Gospel they will resume being shared on the “Words and Life” channel. In this way, the Poor Clares will be able to take care of requests for prayers of intercession by the faithful. So they let the parish know.
