August 15. Today is a Feast!
Today is a liturgical holiday! The
Assumption! The Virgin Mary, taken up into heaven body and soul, image and
reminder to every man and woman, who bears within himself, like her, this
longing for what is infinite and real gift. Today, Saturday 15, in Central
Africa too is feast. No queuing at toll booths, no beach, but for those who
want is a time of prayer. Traditionally we go to Doussa, a village 4 km away
from Bozoum, where we celebrate the Eucharist. The week was relatively quiet,
at least here. I went to Bouar, Thursday. It’s a 500 km driving round trip,
with roads that continue to deteriorate. At Bouar I meet our communities. These
days our youth are studying with a French father, Fr. Luc Marie, the writings of
St. Teresa of Avila, our foundress. The young students are from Central Africa
and Cameroon. A beautiful imagine of hope! In Bouar I take part in some
meetings for Caritas, Justice and Peace. I am in charge of these Organizations
in the name of the diocese. I make a stop in Baoro to see the Church of Kouisso
Baguera, started some years ago by Fr. Renato, built by Enrico Massone, and
finished just recently, complete with bell tower and paintings. A long job but
now is an area of peace and prayer sown in the roads of this Country
