È trascorso più di un secolo da quando a Fatima, nel 1917, la Vergine Maria apparve a Lucia Dos Santos e ai suoi cuginetti Francisco e Jacinta Marto. L'Europa era sprofondata in un periodo buio, martoriata dalla Grande guerra.

Una responsabilità così grande in mani tanto piccole: Lucia aveva appena dieci anni, eppure la sua vita era già segnata.

«L'amicizia di Gesù ci ricorda che Dio mette una virgola dove noi credevamo possibile solo un punto finale.» L'amicizia è uno dei valori più importanti per ognuno di noi, ma anche un aspetto della vita così naturale, e a volte dato per scontato, che raramente ci fermiamo a riflettere su cosa significhi davvero la parola "amico".
