Mon voyage de pèlerinage pour réconforter les nouveaux adhérents à la Communauté Internationale du Divin sauveur en Tanzanie a é une expérience spirituelle très éprouvante pour ma foi : les réalités du voyage, les découvertes des nouvelles cultures et des nouvelles personnes, la rencontre avec des personnes lointaines, le partage et l’unité dans la diversité (langues, gimes alimentaires, différences d’âge et de sexe…) Une découverte de l’inconnu. Tout ceci a fait de moi une nouvelle personne à travers le Bienheureux JORDAN qui luimême est baptisé dun apôtre audelà des frontières, cestàdire audelà de nos forces et de nos faiblesses, au– delà de nos attentes et besoins personnels, audelà de ce que nous imaginons. Jai rencontré des pe< /span>rsonnes que ne pouvais jamais imaginer que je rencontrerai une seule fois dans ma vie. Il s’agit de:

 

  • 36 nouveaux laïcs salvatoriens de la Tanzanie dont 4 papas venus de MASISI, SINZA, MOROGORO, KURASINI……
  • Une forte délégation venue des Etats unis d’Arique :
    • Une sœur Régionale des sœurs du Divin Sauveur
    • Un Prêtre salvatorien (Père Provincial de la Californie)
    • Un Frère salvatorien (diacre)
    • Le Président national des laïcs salvatoriens des USA accompag de son épouse et leurs quatre enfants
    • Un couple des laïcs salvatoriens
    • Trois autres laïcs salvatoriennes parmi lesquelles une jeune fille
  • Les prêtres, les urs ainsi que les frères salvatoriens de la province de Tanzanie en particulier Mgr LAZARIUS et le Père Provincial

Tout ceci a été une expérience de l’universalité salvatorienne : l’accueil qui était très bon, le séjour, la communication…

Il est donc possible que nous menions une vie universelle dans la diversité autour du Christ avec l’assistance du Saint Esprit et grâce à l’intercession de la Sainte Vierge Marie et du Bienheureux JORDAN

Pour réaliser cette expérience il m’a fallu des sacrifices que Le Seigneur en qui je crois et je sers récompense d’une manière ou d’une autre. Je ne me lasserai jamais de continuer à le servir, n’en déplaise aux auteurs des actes frisant les découragements. Avec courage je porterai toujours ma Croix pour répondre à mon appel et je fixerai mes yeux vers JESUS en qui j’ai confiance

My pilgrimage to Tanzania to comfort the new members of the International Community of the Divine Saviour was a very testing spiritual experience for my faith: the realities of the journey, the discovery of new cultures and new people, meeting people from far away, sharing and unity in diversity (languages, diets, age, and gender differences…) A discovery of the unknown. All of this has made me a new person through Blessed JORDAN, who himself is baptized by an apostle beyond borders, that is, beyond our strengths and weaknesses, beyond our personal expectations and needs, and beyond what we imagine. I have met people who I could never have imagined I would meet once in my life. They were:

  • 36 new lay Salvatorians from Tanzania, including 4 fathers from MASISI, SINZA, MOROGORO and KURASINI……
  • A strong delegation from the United States of America:
    • A Regional Sister of the Sisters of the Divine Saviour
    • A Salvatorian priest (Father Provincial of California)
    • A Salvatorian Brother (deacon)
    • The National President of the Lay Salvatorians of the USA accompanied by his wife and their four children
    • A couple of Lay Salvatorians
    • Three other lay Salvatorians, including a young girl
  • The priests, the sisters, and the Salvatorian brothers of the Tanzanian province, in particular Mgr LAZARIUS and the Father Provincial.

All of this was an experience of Salvatorian universality: the welcome, which was very good, the stay, the communication…

It is therefore possible for us to lead a universal life in diversity around Christ, with the assistance of the Holy Spirit and thanks to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Blessed Jordan.

To achieve this experience I have had to make sacrifices that the Lord, in whom I believe and serve, rewards in one way or another. I will never tire of continuing to serve him, whatever the perpetrators of acts bordering on discouragement. With courage, I will always carry my Cross to answer my call and I will fix my eyes on JESUS whom I trust.
