Joint weekend of the CLM with Fathers Günther and Hubert to prepare for the National Catholic Meeting in Würzburg
From February 27 to March 1, at the Comboni Missionaries’ house in Nuremberg, we worked on the theme of the National Catholic Meeting, “BE COURAGEOUS! GET UP!”
On Friday and Saturday, we focused on the concrete preparation in terms of organization and content for the Comboni Family pavilion. We received statements from friends of the Comboni Family worldwide on the question: What gives me the strength to get up (always)? These should be visible at the stand, as well as the spirituality, commitment, and projects of the Comboni Family. The doll “Danielle,” handmade by Brigitte, should encourage passersby to reflect on what gives them the strength to get up—perhaps in this way we can make contact with them.
For families with small children, a small booklet was created with suggestions on how the family can follow the path of Jesus.
It was a weekend of constructive and creative work. We are looking forward to the days in Würzburg and hope for fruitful encounters.
At the final Eucharistic celebration on Sunday, we exchanged detailed ideas about the biblical passage from the Gospel of Mark (Mk 10:46-52) that is behind the theme.
Perhaps we will see each other in Nuremberg?
