SAVE LIVES AT LAKE! VISIT OUR

The entire population of the District Mai-Ndombe is increasingly weary of events unfortunate that constitute the daily lot of his life. Such an environment is damaged, the lake is more about him. Shipping accidents become common among us. Deaths by drowning are innumerable and the population now lives in fear of these unfortunate events. We have, indeed, entire families shattered by the loss of a loved children orphaned after the untimely death of a parent or passengers robbed of their products after an accident where no one gets anything otherwise it is essential that you, life. Enough is enough! a lot of knowledgeable people on the frontline for denouncing the irresponsibility of our leaders and the resignation of state and government as guarantor of territorial integrity and the free movement of persons and their property. At the lake, people are struggling to move, lack of transportation safer. Lake Mai-Ndombe, a remnant of the ancient inland sea, is renowned for the fury of its waves and the violence of the winds. Browsing Lake becomes a question of air superiority. No weather monitoring station at the lake. No beacon signal or preventing storm. It is high time we modernize facilities méteorogiques for many travelers. On this depends the development of the whole May-Ndombe.

ECCLESIASTICAL SICK KINSHASA

When you arrive Kinshasa, among other things that strike you as a result, it is the joy and happiness to meet again especially with our brother priests and other clerics, from the May - Ndombe, but patients in their state. We tested cete feeling first with the Abbot nzengeri home Ndolo, the Diocesan House of Inongo located in the district of Ndolo Barumbu commune in Kinshasa, and then to the Christian priest Masofete, dormant in the House Simeon, a kind of auspice for the elderly or CICM Fathers Scheut Rouvas is in the commune of Gombe, near the parish of Our Lady of Fatima. In the meantime reunion, joy is at its height when it evokes memories of the Lake. Although sick - or even very sick - there is much impressed by the optimism displayed by our colleagues. For weak minds, their health may well make you burst into tears. Who would have thought, for example, a Christian Father, despite its mass, would be felled by illness or Abbe Nzengeri, always smiling and provocative, would be unable to speak as a child - in Latin - "Infar. So many reasons that we still renvoeint beautiful words of Scripture: "Vanity of vanities ..." attitude. Of our religious side of the immaculate, the same reality, the same show! How not to admire the work done with love and devotion of our officers or prosecutors from home? How not to read, through their sacrifice the caring attitude of Christ to him or those he loves (Crr John 11.3)?
Stay in kinshasa becomes an imperative, not only an opportunity to bring a smile to our patients, they have the same needs as any other therapy. This is the only way to treat their lives as well as their recovery as a free gift from the Lord. Given the absurdity of our world and all these realities, both rely on the providence of God, our salvation. Abbot Joseph
