The good Christian is always optimistic.
This statement says a lot about Mario Ferdinandi, whose biography helps us to understand the different phases of his life, his tireless activity in Catholic Action, his courageous commitment to the profession of magistrate.
His testimony invites young people to a new impetus in their Christian experience. A heroic testimony in fidelity to the ideal of Christian and evangelical life, which reveals the beauty of living every daily moment in holiness, even the simplest: working, serving the least, living with friends, falling in love and making plans...
Ferdinandi's human story testifies to how the Christian formation received in the Church, in the community, in Catholic associations, can constitute an important aid in human, as well as Christian, maturation.
«Let's not say that today it is more difficult;
it's different. Let's learn rather
by the saints who have gone before us
and they faced the difficulties
characteristic of their era".
