Congress of the Cenacles of Missionary Prayer in Kinshasa
Monday, November 26, 2018
The first Sunday of November is known as the meeting day of the 18th Congress of the Cenacles of Missionary Prayer (CPM). This year, the congress took place on November 4, 2018 in Limete-Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, on the theme: “CPM, committed to the culture of justice and peace”. The social inequalities and injustices, the ecological dangers, the imperialism and the economic domination of the rich, wars and human migration are scourges that cannot leave anyone indifferent.
In his presentation, Fr. Boniface stressed that “the work of education to a culture of peace is extremely important, because education, the key to the sustainable development of a society, is the most powerful weapon against poverty. No country can eradicate poverty without education. To develop a culture of justice and peace is a commitment that all, at different levels, are called to embrace to make this world a better place. However, it requires sacrifice, as Jesus showed us by his example (1 Peter 2:21)”.
The Congress ended with the celebration of the Eucharist and a common meal.
