 29th-3Oth August 2008On Friday 29th August 2008, we began our day with the mass animated by the formators from Mozambique and South Africa. In our prayer we remembered these two countries which have got different historical realities. We prayed in a special way for peace and reconciliation in South Africa for what took place some months ago (xenophobia). It was also a moment to remember our two late confreres (Fr. Alexius Lipingu and Fr. Joseph Rurunga) who have worked in these two countries and they were also formators. We believe that they intercede for us from Heaven. |

 Our faith always teaches us that life is the highest gift received from God. Since the creation, God gave especial vocation to each of us to be fulfilled. Some people received the vocation to get married; others to become missionaries or local priests, even consecrated lay... In this article, I would like to talk a little bit about one of us. He was young during that time in Verona. He felt humbly and freely the desire to serve God as Consolata Missionary. After years of formation in Italy, he became Consolata Missionary. |
