Raffaella Monterossa is a community member of L’Arche in Bologne, Italy. She believes in God, and she loves to help people. She also loves her father deeply, and he is now growing old. Some may look at Raffaella as “disabled,” but for her, disability is watching her beloved father age and not being able to change that. Her life and love give testimony to the truth that love is stronger than any limitation. All Raffaella can do is love her father to the end, and that is the greatest ability of all.
