From a Church that prays, proclaims the Gospel and does, new priests are born
The last two weeks have been weeks of meetings, prayer and sharing for the Church in Bangassou. All the priests of the diocese have gathered here, at the Cathedral, together with catechists and delegates from the parishes.
After the Spiritual Exercises last week, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 11, 12 and 13 August, we shared information on the parishes and realities of the diocese, and then set to work on the next pastoral year, which will see us focus on the wedding feast of Cana (Jn 2:1-12). Just as Jesus performed his first miracle at the wedding feast, so we want to put ourselves at the service of the families and men and women of the diocese, to discover the beauty of the gift of the sacrament of marriage
On Wednesday afternoon, just before concluding these days of work, we welcome the older seminarians of the diocese, those who during the year study in the seminaries of Bangui, 750 km away.
Friday is the big day of the Assumption. But for the diocese of Bangassou, there is an extra gift: today I ordain Patient Betoloum a priest, and Guy Medard Mbondo a deacon.
With 24 priests present, it is a beautiful concelebration. The cathedral is full, and we experience this miracle with joy and in prayer: two young men put themselves at the service of God and humanity!
