Unity in Love and Love within unity!
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Ps.133: 1 Dear Sisters, I would like to share with you the joy and taste of unity and love among us. Where there is love it does not choose anything, the heart is ready to give and commit to do good to anyone regardless of our ideologies and differences. Yon. 17: 21-23.; just as we are one, so be you, be united; these words give us an invitation to reflect on the deep and beautiful words that our founder gave us. "If you want to thanks, be in Unity." the unity requested by our founder has made us one family, one nation and one citizenship of Christ within our Immaculate Congregation; by following in the footsteps of our founder in maintaining unity and love among ourselves. Dear friends, I would like to share with you how unity and love work together. For example, we can see among the Sisters from Tanzania, Poland and Germany how we can live in unity of the Spirit with one heart according to the Spirit of our founder, and what especially touches me is to see that we are able to communicate and listen to each other regardless of our differences. So we can live in the unity of unity from all over the world by starting with the unity found in my own heart and later spreading it to my neighbours. If I do not have a heart of unity, then it will also be difficult to share with others. So as we see this year is our main motto to reflect on the unity and love of the Spirit of our founder. Our communication of sign language and images between us has helped us to unite in unity and thus has led to the success of our work as well as progress within our Organization. God bless our organizational unity so that we can live the will of our founder according to Him. Sr. Agnes- Tanzania!
MY MISSION EXPERIENCE IN ITALY/ ROME
On the 21st of this month ( November) we have celebrated the feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In unity we came together in a special way to thank God. This day touched me in a special way, I was able to thank God for the gift of calling, as well as for the various talents of my fellow sisters. These talents are really the enrichment of the Church and the congregation. Through our talents we can offer a variety of services happily. I would like to share with you about the mission I serve as a Catechist. Some years ago I did this mission in various parishes in my country Tanzania, now I am doing this mission in the parish of St.Francis of Assis here in Rome, Italy. I am preparing children to receive various sacraments including first communion and confirmation . For the first time here in this general house community of Rome, the leaders have seen it worthy to be close to the society around us for the testimony of our mission. So I happily started my mission this year. At the beginning I faced some challenges in terms of language, culture and even the manner of teaching which is quite different from Tanzania. Since I have a passion to this mission I rejoice and now I no longer find it difficult . On 21/11/2020 ten children received the first communion. And despite this Covid 19 epindemic , these children received Jesus with great joy in their hearts. And although their lips were covered with masks, their smiles of joy appeared in their bright eyes. Let us be proud of our talents and use them in the benefit of others instead of hiding them . Our first mission is prayer, then in every other mission that each one of us is entrusted, we should offer the very best of ourselves for the praise and glory of God. We will be more blessed wherever we are. Sr. M. Clementina
I thank God I am already in the Philippines!
Due to the Covid 19 epidemic, I waited a long time for permission from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Philippines to issue a visa for me. And finally, I managed to get it, and then buying a ticket and the visa itself, went through without a problem. The journey was long, first, from Warsaw to Amsterdam, where I waited almost 6 hours for a flight to Manila, and this flight took about 15 hours. In Manila, at the airport, all passengers had to undergo testing on Covid 19. Which I did as required, then, after taking my luggage, I went for two days to a previously booked hotel designated by the government of the Philippines to wait for the test result. When I got to the hotel it was already 21. The hotel also had Covid 19 regulations that had to be followed. Meals were brought to everyone's door and the doorbell announced them. On the second day in the morning at 9 I got an email with my result, which was negative. I called Sister Klaudia so that she could pick me up because my result was negative, I also informed the hotel about it. And thank God Sr. Klaudia picked me up from the hotel at 2 pm. So far I am getting to know work and surroundings. Sr. M. Agata
