Youth for Peace

click to enlarge

St. Mary Antony (Ile de France, France) is a Marianist institution. Students aged 15 to 18 from here seek to become "stewards of society" by holding gatherings to meet the homeless people of Paris. They do not aim to replace the Red Cross or SAMU (Emergency Medical Assistance). They simply take time to be with and share with the homeless people. The students bring thermos bottles of coffee, other drinks, and food. Most importantly, no adult is present with the youth. 

The homeless are surprised to see young people take the initiative to meet them. The goal? To give a little dignity by showing that young people want to be with them and share. Exchanges can be very brief, but sometimes they can last 10, 15, 20 minutes. The meetings are always high intensity with much warmth and fraternity. For  information:

Jóvenes por la Paz

 La Institución Sainte-Marie de Antony es una institución Marianista situada en Île-de-France, Francia. Allí, los estudiantes entre 15 a 18 años buscan tornarse administradores de la sociedad, mediante la organización de reuniones para ayudar a las personas sin hogar. Ellos no son parte de la Cruz Roja ni del SAMU (Servicio de Ayuda Médica Urgente), un tipo de ayuda médica en situación de emergencia.

Los estudiantes simplemente les traen suministros, completando con bebidas y comida y pasan unos minutos haciendo con que estas personas sin hogar se sientan atendidas. Las personas sin hogar se sienten muy felices de ver a los jóvenes que toman la iniciativa de reunirse con ellos.

MAGNIFICAT ENGLISH

My soul magnifies the Lord, and

my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant.

From now on all generations will call me blessed for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 

His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly;

he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty.

He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy, according to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.
