A day of retreat for the community in this time of Lent
In order to mark this time of Lent and nd the strength necessary to walk towards Easter, the community of Adiapodoumé, on Saturday march 9th, exercised itself more particularly to remain silent, throughout a day’s recollection on the theme: ‘How to live Lent as a period of commitment in our everyday life’.
The preacher on that day was Father Vincent Worou scj; he took as a background Pope Francis’s message for this Lent, inviting us through our various ways of being to be present among our brothers: an incarnate presence, a presence of love without self-interest, a presence of prayer, of service, etc.
The preacher underlined that it would be vital for us to take advantage of this favourable time which is offered to us, keeping in our hearts the desire of exclaiming: ‘Abba, Father, I am yours’, doing so for a revived community and an edifying pastoral action.
The recollection ended by the Eucharist, during which the liturgical gestures, well performed, were witnessing a real fraternity.
