Merry
Christmas!
Very soon it will be Christmas! As
often happens, Christmas arrives very quickly, too quickly in fact! This year
we have resumed the tradition of the Novena. Every afternoon, for 9 days, we
meet in the Church for a moment of prayer and reflection. Many participate and
I hope in turn this helps myself and our parishioners to find ourselves a
little less unprepared to face this great celebration that has changed the
history of the world. Let us pray that it may also change our lives!
Last Sunday, December 16th, we
celebrated the feast of St. John of the Cross, our founder and, here in our
Mission, the Patron of one of the 3 chapels of Bozoum. Presiding over the
celebration was Abbé Firmin, a diocesan priest ordained 2 months ago, along
with fathers Flavien, Stanislas and Martial. There was also Father Davide
Sollami, our Administrator in Arenzano. We celebrated outdoors because the
chapel would have been insufficient. Despite the heat, there were so many
people.
December also includes the end of
schools quarter and then holidays for over 1,800 children attending our schools
here in Bozoum.
And I leave you with my Christmas
greetings: "Each year and all years at Christmas we recognize that the
true spirit of this privileged time does not consist in what we have, but in
what we are; each of us, in fact, is a child of God, and this is the true and
only source of joy of Christmas; this is what makes every Christmas
"happy".
Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year from Bozoum
