Hello miss
and classmates
Today, I am
going to talk about an important character of the History of Chile.
I choose to
Saint Alberto Hurtado, he was not a politic or naval hero, but for me he is very
important, because he was gave importance to the solidarity in Chile. Not for
nothing he had a high monument in our country, and he was canonized by Benedicto
XVI.
He was born
in the city of Viña del Mar, in January 22nd, 1901.
He always worked near of the young and the persons more poor.
He founded important institutions like Hogar de Cristo, and he published different
articles for spread the catholic religion and the faith for help to fellow man.
He was a protector (actually, patron) of the poor, helpless children, and the workers.
And, even, he came to disturb to the more affluent sector of the Catholic
Church, in when they called him like “cura rojo” or “cura comunista”. Yet, he always continues with his deed
charitable, until his last days.
Really, if
I could meet with him, I don’t carry out a question to him, I dedicate to talk
with him about his courage and how he can move forward his work, in summary, I
realized a full interview about his motivations and his good intentions for
help to the needy.
Well, that
is all, for me it is very important, because he was a hero different (together
with Teresa de Los Andes) to the typical heroes that exist in Chile.
