Father Renato meets the bishop of Tripoli, Mgr. Martinelli

It happened at the beginning of september 2011, in a beautiful holiday resort near Venice. Fr. Renato was spending a week at the seaside, when he got the chance of meeting Mgr. Martinelli, the bishop of Tripoli, in that same place. The reverend bishop was following a week-programme of rehabilitation for his right arm, which has become insensible. Fr. Renato, on the contrary, was attending a course of franciscan spirituality.
Fr. Renato, Mgr. Martinelli and sr. Rosina
The bishop told him of the difficult conditions in which his christians - all strictly foreigners, since the country is islamic at 99% - are living in the country, the innumerable sacrifices they have to face in order to keep their faith alive and strong. His Church is really a community in time of persecution.
