Salendo sul Binon il mercoledì delle Ceneri En montant sur le Bino, le mrecredi des Cendres |
Time
is quickly passing by, and here we are in Lent! On wednesday we began
with visiting the Binon, which is a hill upon Bozoum. There's a statue
of Jesus, with his arms open who is protecting and blessing the city.
and here, under his arms we gathered to celebrate Mass, where we
received the Ashes:symbol of a conversion that we all need. All of us.
Especially here in CAR, during this crisis. We must ask ourselves which
are the profound reasons of all this hatred and tension and begin a
change of heart. There are thousands of houses to rebuild, but it's
definitely more urgent to rebuild our hearts and minds...and to do it we
need an infinite courage, That only God can give us. Him, who had no
fear to take on temptations and win.
On
Thursday evening few cars arrived: it was the Archbishop of Bangui,
Mons. Dieudonné Nzapalainga, the Imam and a Protestant. They came as
Mediation Platform representing all religious creeds, visiting Bozoum
and to see how and if it will be possible to reach some tranquility, to
restrain damages and reopen the schools.
On
Friday morning they all attending our 8 am meeting, in which we
evaluate the situation each day and try to make the best decision
accordingly in order to keep peace in the city. The Archbishop thanked
for this and the Platform encouraged us to keep up the good work.
Along with them also came few journalists from Famille
Chretienne, AFP and BBC. We went together to witness another small
miracle in Tatale, 50 km far from here the population took in and
protected 650 Mbororo, Muslims breeders.
Even if there's the dry season there certainly are some flowers blossoming....
