Nessuno è inutile agli occhi di Dio, nessuno arriva troppo tardi. L’omelia nell’anniversario dell’alluvione a Traversara

A priest reflected on the anniversary of the Traversara flood during a homily on September 19, 2026, noting that God's mercy operates differently than human logic. Addressing the community in Traversara di Bagnacavallo, the speaker connected the biblical parable of the vineyard workers to the local experience of tragedy.

The homily addressed the suffering caused by the flood, including flooded homes, lost memories, and the fear experienced by families. The speaker stated that God does not desire suffering or use disasters to punish people, arguing that viewing God as a punisher treats faith like a contract rather than a relationship. Instead, the message emphasized that God's love is abundant and free, much like the workers who arrived at the last hour and received the same reward as those who worked all day.
