1943 – year of war. Like many others, Daniele and Luisa were suffering
from hunger. Their home refrigerator was almost empty,
they had run out of potatoes so in the cellar there were no more potatoes. |
|
Their
house was in the center of the town, at the end of a curve of the main road.
Cars and lorries often took that curve at high speed. On that morning the
prayer of our two friends was brutally interrupted; the roar of an engine,
the screeching of the tyres and a loud noise produced by the fall of
something …. That little house was shaken. |
|
‘This time
they exaggerate’ said Luisa – ‘you should go underground to see if the wall
stood up!’ |
|
Daniele
smiled, he shrugged his shoulders, however he went
down into the cellar in order to reassure his wife. |
|
Do you
know what he saw? He saw a wonderful sack of potatoes which had been snatched
from the lorry by the centrifugal force and had been dropped by the vent
which had remained open. |
|
The lorry
was far, it was impossible to identify it. Our friends knelt down, this time
in order to thank the Lord |
