The Ursulines of Mokong visit the Fraternity of Ouzal
Last year, the Ursulines of Jesus had to leave the far north of Cameroon hoping for better days to return there. During the few years of presence in Ouzal, they had invited lay people to be part of the Fraternity of the Incarnation. So what a joy to see each other again to celebrate the Immaculate Conception together!
Dare to cross 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 (bad road conditions, insecurity, bad weather, etc.) this December 13, 2015 to meet with our brothers from the fraternity of the Incarnation of Ouzal in order to celebrate, together in joy, the feast of the Immaculate Conception.
For the small presentation, the fraternity of the Incarnation of Ouzal, brings together four religiously married couples and the fifth couple will celebrate their civil and religious marriage on December 22.
What is impressive and admirable is that the group has grown and 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 of them.
WHAT A JOY TO MEET US AGAIN!
Taste the joy of reunion, the Gospel of the Annunciation and the cuisine of the country
Leaving Mokong, very early Sunday at 6 a.m., we arrived at 8 a.m. Before the Sunday Eucharist at 9 a.m., we had the joy of meeting many parishioners, who were also very happy to see us again. After the Eucharist, we met as a family in our community; you can imagine the joy of our brothers and ours!
After this reunion, we gathered around the Gospel, going through a brief historical overview of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Meditation on this Gospel led us to note the attitudes of Mary which touched us (openness, welcome, listening, simplicity, availability, trust, total abandonment, etc.) This sharing led us to offer our lives, our commitments and all of humanity to the Lord and to adore him through his Word made flesh.
After the prayer we moved to the festive phase. Obviously, we had a very delicious meal cooked by one of the couples, but we are careful not to 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 come together as brothers and sisters and to be united by Christ!
Do you want to join the Family of the Incarnation?
Dear friends, we inform you that the Family of the Incarnation exists in each of the places where we are inserted. We invite you to see how men and women live joyfully as brothers and sisters following Jesus.
