Many good things happened throughout 2013.
The sending of Scharliman to the international community of Rondos in Peru.
The arrival of the CLM Emma, who comes from Italy for a period of 3 years to Ipê Amarillo, Contagem-Minas Gerais.
The constant communication and support from the Central Committee and the Comboni Missionaries.
The annual meeting of the CLM, moments to check the path we are walking and find the CLM scattered throughout the mission territories of this immense Brazil.
The renewal of Flavio for 2 more years on African soil, and of course his presence with us on vacation and his availability, even while on vacation, he spared no efforts to address many invitations to talk about his missionary experience in these two years Mozambique.
Time to satisfy our nostalgias, to share joys and sorrows and recompose the strength to follow God’s plan in our missionary commitment for 2014. The pains, which are not lacking in anyone’s life, passed because its promise is real and true: I will be with you until the end.
So, friends and fellows CLM everywhere, we want to start 2014 with much strength and courage to all.
May Our Lady of Aparecida and all the saints in each country encourage us in this beautiful journey of our yes to God and Comboni.
By Maria Lourdes Vieira.
