The Metropolitan of Central Madagascar visited a juvenile reformatorytranslated

Where society sees "delinquent children", the Church sees souls. The Venerable Metropolitan of Central Madagascar Mr. Ignatios visited the juvenile reformatory, not with words, but with love in action and open arms. Food, clothes, balls, plates, spoons and everything else the children needed became a small bridge of love to those souls who so early knew the cruelty of life (albeit through their fault). Because behind every child there is a story. Behind every broken heart is a Christ waiting to be touched.

His Eminence Metropolitan Mr. Ignatios did not just go to offer things. Behind every movement of the Metropolitan there is substance. He went to tell them, without many words, that, “we have not forgotten you. You are not alone. God loves you." Perhaps this is the greatest gift the Church can offer a child,

to give him hope again that his life can start over.
