“Christ made Himself poor for you” (2 Corinthians 8, 9)
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
Each year, Lent offers us a providential opportunity to deepen the meaning and value of our Christian lives, and it stimulates us to rediscover the mercy of God so that we, in turn, become more merciful toward our brothers and sisters. In the Lenten period, the Church makes it her duty to propose some specific tasks that accompany the faithful concretely in this process of interior renewal: these are prayer, fasting and almsgiving. For this year’s Lenten Message, I wish to spend some time reflecting on the practice of almsgiving, which represents a specific way to assist those in need and, at the same time, an exercise in self-denial to free us from attachment to worldly goods.

Here we are in Wonji Mission. From the month of October 2007, the mission of Wonji is facing a big problem of Water. There is no rain. So far, we are living in a very hot climatic condition. The level of water in Awash River is extremely law. It happens that in some days, or week, the whole mission does not have water. Water and sanitation related illnesses have been greatly affecting our people and stunting from diarrhoea was widespread in our mission. What terrible situation!!!! A lot of crops fell because of lack of water. In brief, it is drought situation. |

“…As the eleven were at table, he appeared to them and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they had not believed those who saw him after he had been raised. He said to them, ‘Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. (…) In my name, they will drive out demons; they will speak new languages…” (Mk 16, 14-17) |
