The Ursulines of Mokong visit the Ouzal Fraternity
Last year, the Ursulines de Jésus had to leave the far north of Cameroon, hoping for better days to return. During the few years they had been in Ouzal, they had invited lay people to join the Fraternité de l'Incarnation. So what a joy it is to meet again to celebrate the Immaculate Conception together!
Dare to break through the barriers of insecurity to bring joy to others and receive it from them in return.
We, the community of missionary disciples of Mokong, had the courage to overcome obstacles (poor road conditions, insecurity, bad weather ...) this December 13, 2015 to meet with our brothers of the fraternity of the Incarnation of Ouzal to celebrate, together in joy the feast of the Immaculate Conception.
For the record, the Ouzal Incarnation fraternity has four religiously married couples, and the fifth couple will celebrate their civil and religious wedding on December 22.
What's impressive and admirable is that the group has grown, solidified despite our departure. We could compare them to the group of apostles who, after Jesus' departure, continued to spread his Good News and make disciples.
IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!
Taste the joy of reunion, the Gospel of the Annunciation and local cuisine
We set off from Mokong very early on Sunday morning at 6am, arriving at 8am. Before the Sunday Eucharist at 9 a.m., we had the joy of meeting many parishioners, who were also delighted to see us again. After the Eucharist, we gathered as a family in our community; you can imagine the joy of our brothers and ourselves!
After this reunion, we gathered around the Gospel, including a brief historical overview of the feast of the Immaculate Conception. Meditation on the Gospel led us to note the attitudes of Mary that touched us (openness, welcoming, listening, simplicity, availability, trust, total abandonment...) This sharing led us to offer our lives, our commitments and the whole of humanity to the Lord, and to adore him through his Word made flesh.
After the prayer, we moved on to the festive phase. Of course, we had a very delicious meal cooked by one of the couples, but we won't share our recipes with you! Instead, we invite you to the next party on March 25 to discover them. Then we danced to the rhythm of today's songs. Ah, how good it is to be brothers and sisters again, united by Christ!
Would you like to join the Incarnation Family?
Dear friends, we would like to inform you that the Family of the Incarnation exists in each of the places where we are inserted. We invite you to go and see how men and women joyfully live as brothers and sisters following Jesus.
