I share a sad news from northern Mozambique, from Carapira mission, sent by Regimar and Tito:
“Hi. We are fine. But the situation here is very complicated. A cyclone devastated Carapira last Friday. 90% of the houses destroyed, all the fields are gone. 10 deaths and 3 seriously injured. This is what I know. Surely there are more. We have no news from many communities.
There is a lack of food and clothes. Hunger is already a reality.
We are looking for help. The world doesn’t know what happened here.
We even donate our clothes.
We have no cell phone service and no power. Now we finally got a signal.
I am trying to get help from Caritas, from Helena. We have scheduled a conversation.
On Friday we sheltered 46 families, 150 people, in the center of Carapira. There are others in the catechetical center. I don’t know how many more, because people are arriving all the time. There are families with 30 people sheltered and without food”.
Let’s put them in our prayers and see what we can concretely do together!
After lowering the incidence by the number of cases of Covid we returned to have our face-to-face meeting in Granada the CLM of southern Spain. Always respecting the use of masks and ventilation indoors but looking forward to meet again and share.
This weekend we also have the presence of several candidates.
In these cases we divided the meeting into several moments. In some we were all together and in others separated in order to advance in the different things that we established for ourselves.
We began with a time of prayer where we put ourselves in the presence of the Lord, pray for the reality that surrounds us and give thanks for it.
On Saturday morning we were all together sharing a topic on Comboni Spirituality (CLM, candidates and some Comboni Fathers). It was a nice time where we could share how our spirituality marks our vocation and many of our life experiences. Spirituality is nourishment and sustenance in our choices and supports us in difficult moments and in making important decisions.
In the afternoon we went to celebrate with the Comboni Sisters the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the Institute. They had prepared a very nice event where 4 of them presented the importance of women and the mission from various points of view. It was nice how, without having foreseen it previously, they spoke about many of the things we had discussed in the morning, illuminating it with their life experience as Comboni Missionary Sisters.
Later we went to celebrate a Eucharist of thanksgiving in the parish where they are present for these years and ended the evening with a fraternal agape.
On Sunday, in addition to the time of prayer, we divided to work in parallel CLM and candidates. On the one hand to work on future commitments and review life as a community and on the other hand the candidates had the missionary testimony of Carmen Aranda in Uganda.
We ended with different topics, among others the campaign about our opening of missions in Kenya and Mozambique and the next meetings.
A very well spent and beautiful weekend.
Alberto, CLM Spain
We leave here the video that the Comboni Sisters put at the beginning of their talk that explains very well these years of the institute and the illusion to continue walking at the service of the mission.
We pray, during the month in which we remember especially Saint Joseph in whose face Jesus saw the tenderness of God the Father that all Christians may encounter in the sacrament of reconciliation the tender face of the Father who welcomes, embraces, sustains and pardons us. Lord hear us.
I am writing these few lines to talk a little bit about the mission here in Mozambique.
We are in Anchilo, at the Catechetical Center, participating in the course of insertion and inculturation for missionaries who come for the Mission Ad Gentes.
The course started on the 1st and will last until the 26th of this month.
This course will help us a lot to understand the real situation of this country in all aspects.
Participating in this course are missionaries from: Brazil, Poland, Italy, Honduras and Indonesia.
In spite of being a small group, it is a group very animated for the mission.
St. Daniel Comboni pray for us.
Tito, CLM
