On February 14, 1948, after 10 days of Constituent Assembly, the Nomadelfis signed the Constitution of Nomadelfia on the altar. The minors also signed. All together they became the founders of the City of Nomadelfia, a name coined for the occasion, with the desire that fraternity be the law of life. this is how the former concentration camp of Fossoli, from a place of death, became the place of life. A few days later, on March 8, more than a hundred children and young people from the orphanage in Rome were welcomed in Nomadelfia.
The Constitution begins like this: In the name of Christ the Saviour, the "Little Apostles" unite in the unum evangelico and found the city of Nomadelfia.
Here are some words that Don Zeno expressed on the occasion.
The world is watching us. Whoever has never called Mamma come here and call her; from here we run to look for those who are without a Mother, shouting, because every woman who has a uterus, a breast, a female soul must feel motherhood.
By giving children motherhood and fatherhood, we give fraternity to the world, "the Unum" because no one will be excluded from this love. This is a sentence given to the world and its selfish social system: we are brothers, we live in the justice of brothers. It is something that no human mind can express; But there is only one way of saying and preaching this law: to implement it at all prices and at all costs.
