After, dopo,
après, post….
After the Pope’s
visit I thought to keep myself silent for a while. One reason was to give a bit
of rest to the translators for the different languages of my blog (Martin,
Terezie and Ludmila into Czech, Regina into German, Fr. Raffaele into English, and
Fr. Juan into Spanish), and partly to allow to the great event lived in Central
African Republic to settle a bit. For
these reasons we've prepared a special issue of the "Journal de
Bozoum" with a chronicle of the visit with the speeches that the Pope gave
in Bangui. This special edition went sold out pretty soon, and I needed to
reprint it, translated into Italian too. Tuesday December 1, our friends of
SIRIRI Association of Prague arrived in Bangui: the auxiliary bishop of Prague,
Vaclav Maly, together with Karol (architect) and Ludmila. On Wednesday we work
with Karol in view of a new monastery we intend to build in Bangui. On Thursday
we leave at 5.30am toward Bozoum, where we arrived around noon. Here the work
to extend our church continues, thanks to Alexis, Paul and our masons. Our
friends of Prague go visiting the Mission, particularly some of the initiatives
supported by their Association in the fields of education and health. On
Sunday, December 6, Mass celebration at 8.30. The auxiliary bishop of Prague
concelebrates (given the difficulty of the language) and before greeting with
few words the congregation expressing his gratitude for participating in the
beautiful celebration of the Eucharist, he donated us the statues of the Infant
Jesus of Prague, statues that every Sunday are entrusted to different families.
On Monday we travel making a stop in Baoro to greet our Mission, where the
Association SIRIRI supports the Mechanics School. Soon after lunch we leave
towards Bangui, where we arrive in the evening. I returned the next morning in
Bozoum. On Wednesday I gather with the Parish Council to discuss the Jubilee
Year of Mercy opened in Bangui on November 29, and in Rome on December 8.
Friday I have on my schedule the first preparatory meeting for the Agricultural
Fair 2016, which we hope to organize for January 23 and 24. The Agricultural
Fair is a unique opportunity for farmers in the region to display and sell
their agricultural products. It is a unique opportunity for the city of Bozoum
to live a moment of peace and development.
And, even with a
little delay ... some video of the Pope's visit.
The first is the opening of the Holy Door:
The second, the Pope's arrival in the stadium in
Bangui:
Here’s a reportage in French on refugees in our
convent of Carmel in Bangui:
