Among the men and women from any time that have found out “the treasure” of their lives there were some special boys who left a luminous trail in our Community. They had crumbled to pieces after a life full of mistakes and sorrow, they were sad and desperate .But they believed seriously in God,in friendship and praying before Jesus they discovered the great value of their lives.
In the Community they have met God,they have followed Him till the end never turning back.They became witnesses of Light and Hope for those who shared the walk from “darkness to Light”.
The went up to Heaven blessing and asking to be forgiven, encouraging and cheering up anyone who met them.
They are “our Saints”,the Cenacolo in heavens that celebrates with the Father and intercedes with all those youth who are still sad and lost,far from God’s Love.
Some of them left us some writings,simple words coming from their hearts to tell us what they were living in the last months of their earthly pilgrimage.
You’ll find here some pages from those writings: if we read them we will feel called to saintity, we will be able to try to become saints because we will be enlightened, recovered and helped by the Holy Spirit that fills the universe and lives in the heart of any child of God.

Deep childhood wounds,screams,violence, anger,pain from his family.At 14 he left home hoping to escape from his pain and anger against his father but he fell into an even worse despair:alcohol,drugs,heroin and then HIV positive.
In the Community Nicola met God and in His Light; forgiving and being forgiven,he devoted all his life to God.He used to say:”If God recovers me I’ll go to Brazil to help the homeless children, my life is there.” ...(More).
