Travelling
During these two weeks I did travel a
lot. Mostly because I helped Friars of our
Communities in their various residence changes and shifts as a result of
Provincial Superior visit. But I needed to travel also because of the visits of
Friars responsible in governing our Order. In the first half of August arrives
here in Africa Father Daniel Ehigie Nigerian origin. He is one of the
Councilors to the General Father, and he is the one who deals with our Order
presence in Africa. August 4th
and 5th comes also Father Fausto, the Provincial of Milan, from
which the Mission of Cameroon depends.
This is the reason why on Sunday,
after having celebrated the two Masses, early afternoon I left driving towards
Bouar. The direct road (110km) is blocked due to a truck, and I have to take
the road through Bossemptele arriving at Bouar, after 250km and 5 long hours
driving. I spend Monday at Bouar. In the evening I'm in Baoro, giving a ride to
Father Stefano, who will be the new Pastor.
On Tuesday morning I leave Baoro, and
just before 1.00pm I’m in Bangui. Here in the evening, coming from Zambia,
arrives Father Daniel Ehigie. On Wednesdays we spend the day together, visiting
the "Farm" of Carmel where is being planted coffee, meeting personally
one by one the friars ending with a long conversation in the afternoon as a
conclusion. At lunch time we take a break just for a pizza I did prepare, and
that gives strength to our work.
On Thursday afternoon at 1.00pm we
leave under a heavy rain. The road is long (450 km), and there are also 2
convoys of trucks driving one in the opposite direction of the other, but at
7.30pm we finally arrive at Bouar, in our convent Of St.Elia, which welcomes us
with the many young religious which are present in order to follow a formation
stage about St. John of the Cross, directed by Father Jean de Jean Baptiste
(French and resident in Senegal). We meet there the fathers who came from
Cameroon together with the Provincial Father Fausto: Father Marco Gazzoli and Father
Jean Baptiste.
During these days we are going to
discuss with them the collaboration that unites us which began a few years ago,
exchanging experiences and personnel. Since 2013 their young people follow the
Novitiate here, and since 2014 our Theology students study with them in
Yaounde.
