Beijing (Agenzia Fides) - "Whatever you have done to even one of my younger brothers, you have done it to me": following the teachings of Jesus, the faithful of the Cathedral dedicated to S. Peter and Paul of the Diocese of Bao Ding, in Bei Province, gave their testimony of love to the children physically and mentally disabled at the Handicapped Children's Hospital in Ren Qui during this month dedicated to the Sacred Heart. According to what was reported to Fides, about twenty people, representing the Catholic community of the Cathedral, led by the pastor, traveled to visit the disabled children on June 6, bringing the donations collected from the parishioners, clothing and basic food. It is not the first time they make this gesture of charity, indeed, the hospital is a place familiar to the faithful of Bao Ding, "because children must not lack in Christian love. "
Throughout the year these children always receive the visits of Chinese Catholics from all parts of the country, as well as foreign residents from Beijing and He Bei. Only in the month of the Sacred Heart the parishes in the Diocese of Beijing, Tian Jin and some of Taiwan visited them. As confirmed by the head nun, during the celebrations for the 17 years since the founding of the hospital, on December 11 last year, "were 17 years of miracles, Grace, stories that touch even the hardest heart . So we believe that this is a work of God, it is a symbol of God's Love. "The Handicapped Children's Hospital of Ren Qui is located in the diocese of Xian Xian and today is home to hundreds of children with mental disabilities and physical disabilities, who are orphans or have been abandoned by their families.
