Promoting Comboni Friends in Ethiopia
Friday, December 9, 2016
In Ethiopia we are planning to revitalize the group of Comboni Friends and maybe later through this group also find some vocations for the Comboni Lay Missionaries (CLM). Last weekend it has been a good occasion for vocation promotion. We celebrated the Feast of Christ the King (two weeks later than the rest of the Catholic World). The main celebrations took place in the cathedral of Addis Abeba. In the picture: Cardinal Berhaneyesus Demerew Souraphiel, Ethiopian Catholic Archbishop of Addis Abeba.
There were two days of special program. Saturday started with the exhibitions of the different Institutes and lay movements, where we presented our CLM. There was also a spiritual time – on Saturday: adoration, prayers, conferences and confessions; – on Sunday: the solemn Holy Mass in the geez rite. It was a really nice time of prayer and meetings with the people. Some of them showed interest to get to know our group better. So pray for all of us that, if it’s God’s will, the group of the CLM may be started also here and grow well. [CLM Ethiopia].
