Seeds migrate on the wings of the wind. Plants migrate from continent to continent on the waves of the seas and
rivers. Birds and other animals move from place to place. But even more do human beings migrate, sometimes in
groups, sometimes alone, and, in so doing, are always the free instruments of Divine
Providence, which presides over human destiny, leading all people even through great
calamities, to their final goal: the perfection of man on earth and the glory of God in
heaven. (Scalabrini,
1899) |
