Ivory Coast Yamoussoukro
On March 27th , the pastoral sector of Yamoussoukro was on a pilgrimage, inspired by the motto: "Following Christ, lets live our baptism for a world of justice, reconciliation and peace. "
Each parish, divided into Basic Ecclesial Communities, walked towards the Basilica Notre Dame de la Paix. A leaflet was given out with some questions about the prophetic mission of the baptized, the link between the Word of God and life, the credibility of testimony, the concrete commitments and gestures of love ...
Before the Mass, pilgrims warmly welcomed the interventions of imams and pastors. As was the case during the Friday prayers at the mosque, it was clear that the current crisis has nothing to do with religion (coming Sunday, the religious leaders will gather at the Protestant church). During the Eucharist, Mgr Marcellin Yao Kouadio highlighted the serious situation faced by the country and urged Christians to work for unity.
