Comboni Lay Missionaries

Pilgrimage with the testimony of Sister Dina and a letter from Fr. Ezequiel

Ezequiel

As we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the martyrdom of the Servant of God, Father Ezequiel Ramin, Sister Dina Siquiera, a Comboni missionary sistere, shares her testimony of life and vocation and Miriam reads one of Father Ezequiel Ramin’s letters: “The situation is heating up. The Catholic Church organized Labor Day on July 25. Among the courtships, bands and processions, they were expected to have promoted something. In Cacoal, before our eyes, the police arrested the president of the rural union, a farmer with 2nd class. We were forced to protest at the risk of arrest. In Aripuanã, a nearby place, the police fired during the procession. The bishop was leading the demonstration. Three wounded, including one very serious. The parish car was left as a strainer. Land reform is required. The reaction of those who have 10,000 hectares of land is evident! But the Lord always protects us and this is enough. “

Working meeting of the CLM group (10-12 July 2020 in Nuremberg)

LMC Alemania
CLM, Germany

Our July meeting was determined by three things: continuing our work with the peace posters, participating in the zoom meeting of the CLM in Europe and sharing spiritually and personally with the MCCJ community in Nuremberg.

For the work on the peace posters we have improved and closed more clearly the scheme that links the posters. We also decided on the steps of this project until the end.

The participation in the meeting through zoom gave some of us the first possibility to feel personally the internationality of the CLM movement. The representatives of each country spoke about the challenges of the “mission in Europe” in the context of their country and how they try to respond to these challenges.

Together with the MCCJ and the Pauline Sisters we prayed for vocations, celebrated Mass and cultivated unity in a “grill” party.

After the long break due to Covid 19, this meeting did us all a lot of good.
