AUGUST 2017: The grace of continuous sharing of personnel and financial resources among the units of the SMA for the good of mission.
In our communities, disseminated over four continents, we pray daily for the canonization of our Founder. The prayer ends with a request for grace. In addition to the specific intentions that each person or community can express, all of us can unite to ask for a common grace. Our sincere and selfless prayer can lead us to the miracle necessary for his beatification.
How does it work? At the point where the prayer says: "... By his intercession we will receive the graces of which we have need. In particular..." we will add the proposed intention, by saying it aloud. Up there is for this month.
From Foya to Sanniquelle
Leaving Freetown at 6:30 am, we take the road with Fr. David, as driver, and Fr. Valéry, a colleague, as travel companion.
Imminent return to Liberia
Already our stay in Sierra Leone is coming to its end, we have extended it by one day to meet the Bishop of the diocese of Freetown, where our confreres are working.
Going to the Chapel
Fr. Pat Kelly, SMA joins Eddie. Their conversation goes down many paths but all lead back to abiding in the Lord. Would you like a trick to writing a good homily? Then watch this video
Departure for Sierra Leone
We are at the airport of Monrovia to take the plane which will take us for a few days to Sierra Leone.
A night in Montferrier
The retirement home of the African Missions in Montferrier where, more often than not, days peacefully passed by, was suddenly placed under spotlight. In fact, on Thursday November 24, 2016 at 9:30 pm an intruder violently assaulted one of the personnel on duty.
Logbook Liberia, 3
The African Missions celebrate today the 160th anniversary of its foundation. Our wish was to celebrate this event in Freetown (Sierra Leone), a highly symbolic place for us, where our founder died. Hardly landed, he gave his life for the African world. But unfortunately our flight is scheduled for 9th December, and we will celebrate this anniversary in Freetown on Sunday 11th.
