ELE ESTA DE NO Meio NOS!
(He, the Lord, is already among us!)
is the liturgical response, the Brazilian translation of the missal, which gives the Christian people in every celebration to greet the President ("The Lord be with you"). It `s Easter message that the people of God receives and gives. You wish, and at the same time, consciousness of a reality that motivates our life, our mission, our joy.
There are a lot of news in recent months have welcomed the life of our mission in Sao Luis:
PEOPLE:
- The arrival of Don Horatio Bellomi (from João Pessoa, where the mission in which they operated priests Verona after 16 years of service was entrusted to the priests in Brazil) is to enrich our team of priests (we are now 4: Luca, Daniele, Claudio and Horace). His presence and actions have already begun with generosity, especially from a focus on the poorest and most marginalized people. He is currently visiting the family of a very poor area of \u200b\u200bthe parish where you suffer daily from hunger.
- The arrival of three sisters from an Institute of Polish origin, sr. Inviolate, sr. Doris and sr. Rosinilda has made it possible for the religious charism in our parish and it is certainly a sign of witness and service that people have now received with enthusiasm.
- This year's seminar in São Luís sends us every Saturday and Sunday pastoral experience in three seminarians in philosophy and theology: it is a stimulus for us priests to renew the enthusiasm of our vocation and responsibility of a deeper relationship with the diocese in which we serve.
EVENTS:
- On January 6, we celebrated the third anniversary of the birth of the Holy Trinity Parish. Also present were our dear friends Don and Don Giuseppe Mario Sulmona Pizzoli a pastoral visit.
- On the same occasion we presented to the community, the sisters and members of the Foundation legally recognized "Justice and Peace embrace" (JPA), which is beginning to coordinate all the social projects the parish (project "families Solidario" with sponsorships and activities to learn to help themselves; project PEO education and guidance to strengthen the academic and social abilities of children; project "Capoeira" to educate adolescents and young people in activities of dance-non-violent struggle; project "bakery" that allows you to learn the culinary arts and provide employment opportunities, the project of "Courses for Young Professionals" of various health education projects, to help people in trouble, more and more when possible, in collaboration with local government).
- At the end of January there Training for the week was the catechists and promoters of the parish, with the participation of more than 70 people. The theme this year was the Eucharist.
- In early February we priests have participated in Manaus, in the middle of the Amazon, to 'meet Italian missionaries in Brazil. It was also the Vicar General of the diocese of Verona: Don Giuseppe Pellegrini. The theme was, of course, seeing the place, "the link between nature and mission."
- In mid-February: Spiritual Exercises for all the priests of our Diocese of São Luís and the beginning of the pastoral, which practically begins with Lent here.
- At the end of February: the welcome visit of some Italians including my brother Agostino and his brother Don Daniel, Gabriel.
- These days, the Bishop of São Luís, at the instigation of the bishop and the Mission Center in Verona, established the first community of priests in the history of this diocese, and it is our company of priests. The official institution does not add anything to what already was in practice, but creates a sign for the priests and the people here and a confirmation for the people following us from Italy.
a little reflection: The missionary experience constantly asks me about what it means to be "missionaries". The Aparecida document for Latin America, taking the words of Pope Benedict XVI that "the Church is not to proselytize but to expand attraction and living the fraternity" leads me to a path of communion with the Church proclaiming the joy of faith. The joy seems to be the main feature of the mission of Christ by what transpires in the document of Aparecida. The many different characteristics, opportunities and challenges of each person and the people I teach every day to stop in wonder, as a fellow traveler (remembering the Synod of Verona), in front of the eyes and hearts of children, youth, mothers and dad, grandparents and older people, people known and unknown, to hear their stories, their hopes and their, sometimes disappointments. I only remember a statistic the University of this city: the majority of children in São Luís are recorded to the registry with only the mother's name without his father's name, and this creates a series of moral consequences, economic, psychological and social.
dialogue and exchange of experience becomes an opportunity to receive and announce a hope that many times is not made of words but only the presence of some small gesture of sympathy and solidarity in the vast sea of \u200b\u200bneeds.
'He, the Lord is already among us! "The example of the Risen Lord opens for us the way of the mission, and reminds us that in every face is the Jesuit missionary, who has many things to say.
AND 'TIME BUDGETS: In recent months, the recommendations for economic affairs of the parishes are struggling with budget flights last year. The budget statement is a small but significant sign of justice and transparency to all those who through their generosity support the mission of the Church.
We also send each month at the Diocesan Missionary Centre of Verona and the Diocese of São Luís the economic balance of our mission and our parish. In each of our parish community there are one or more people who take care of the economy, have the budget to the Community Council and hang attendees at the church door. The nice thing is that often these people know just write!
HAPPY EASTER!: good life and the hope that simply sending you thank you very much for everything!
The certainty of your company every day in prayer always makes me more happy and confident. Thanks!
