SUNDAY “IN ALBIS”
On Friday, the day after the training
course for the personnel of the parish Caritas in Bouar, I took part to the
Presbyteral Council, together with a dozen priests and the Bishop. The Presbyteral
council is made up of some priests of the diocese. Part of the members are
diocesan priests, while few others are chosen by the Bishop. At this meeting of the Council, the Bishop
discussed with us and helped us to take decisions. Each one of us freely brings
in his point of view, giving also some suggestions to the Bishop. In the
afternoon I return to Bozoum, and on Sunday I meet all the newly baptized at Easter
Vigil, all dress up with their white clothes. In ancient times this Sunday was
called "Sunday in albis", because,
after a week of catechesis and formation, the baptized use to return to the
church to be part once again in the Mass, dress up with the white clothes of
baptism.
On Tuesday afternoon I went to the
Rizicole Center in Bohoro, where we began the dam fixing works. While the
masons repair the concrete parts, about thirty young people, armed with shovels
and carriages, clean the bottom of the lake, which will allow to hold more
water.
On Wednesday I go to Bangui, to meet our
Community and to take a good look to the making of the Agricultural School. The
two buildings are growing pretty well, almost close to the roof. The new
technique of bricks made in pressed earth is of a very great help. These two structures are aesthetically very
beautiful.
And for the next week I like to announce
in advance two surprises.
