Return to the country
I am at the Addis Ababa airport, waiting for the plane to Bangui, Central Africa.
I left Cuneo yesterday morning, after celebrating Mass with the senior priests of the diocese, and then I took the train, which brought me to Rome yesterday afternoon. After the 6 hour night flight, I am leaving for Bangui, where I will arrive after 3 hours, around 12. Tomorrow, if all goes well, departure for Bangassou.
The return to Bangassou, after almost a month spent in Italy: first the training of the bishops, then various meetings, between Cuneo, Arenzano, and Milan.
The opportunity to meet many people, and to talk about Central Africa and Bangassou, about the hopes and dreams that Africa contains and preserves, like a great hatchery.
I always encounter a lot of attention and sensitivity.
In a world like the current one, so tense and with little hope, the mission is one of the beautiful places, where the Love of God is incarnated and makes the desert flourish.
And if the desert flourishes, the rest of the world will flourish too!
