New Horizon<br/><br/>

This is a real story that happened in Rome, the capital of Italy.  One night, approximately ten years ago, a girl named Angela was given the order to assassinate the founder of New Horizon, Chiara Amirante, since Chiara helped a lot of lost young people start anew.<br/><br/>

Chiara Amirante (now 38) made a deal with God twenty years ago: if He gave her some of her health back, she would devote her life to God.  Chiara was completely cured miraculously.  Later, under the consent of the Vicar General of the Roman Diocese, Chiara started serving despair young people found swarming around Termini Train Station, in the heart of Rome.  Chiara spent days and nights there, trying to introduce a gleam of hope into that world of crime, drugs, prostitution and satanic sects.  A lot of people were able to get back onto the right path, and some even gave their lives to the Lord, and became evangelists!<br/><br/>

Angela was abandoned by her parents since birth, and had a difficult childhood.  However, she worked diligently and was once a famous chef in Europe.  Success only made the void in her heart harder to fulfill.  She started seeking help from a therapist.  Very unfortunately, the therapist was a member of Mafia.  As a result, Angela became a tool of crime for the Mafia.<br/><br/>

So on that night ten years ago, armed with a rifle, Angela went to Chiara’s place, planning to execute her.  Upon opening the door, Chiara gave Angela a big hug.  At the moment, Angela cried of joy because that was the first time in her life she felt loved.  Angela then became Chiara’s assistant.  This June, Angela was assigned the task of setting up a Youth center in Medjugorje to let pilgrims know about the missions of New Horizon.  Consecrated members of New Horizon take vows of chastity, poverty, obedience and joy.  Let us all pray for brothers and sisters working for these new missions.<br/><br/>
