The sending to the mission of Danusia
Rome, Monday, October 15, 2012
“Yes. Here I am, send me”, says Danusia Król, Comboni Lay Missionary (CLM) from Poland. She goes to serve the poorest and most abandoned in Uganda. On Sunday, October 7, in her home parish in Jastrzębie Zdrój, the Church of Katowice sent Danusia to be a witness of the love and presence of God by the testimony of her life, work and commitment. Being a physical therapist, she will make her missionary experience at Matany Hospital, trying to share all that she has received and learned: love, kindness, warmth and joy.
Sunday, October 7, was a day full of emotions both for Danusia and for the CLM group. On Saturday evening Danusia made her testimony of faith, accompanied by the community’s special prayers, to ask God for her daily strength and perseverance in her service.
The Sunday Mass, led by the parish priest, was very solemn. It was attended not only by the Comboni Missionaries, but also by a bishops’ delegate for the mission, Fr. Gregory Wita. It was he, together with the parish priest, who gave Danusia her missionary cross, which will remind her for Whom she offering her live, and that Christ always walks beside her.
“Danusia – said Comboni Fr. Leszczyński Rafał – will be for the people of Uganda a visible sign of God’s love and presence, who has never forgotten the African people.”
She is already in Nairobi, where she is attending an English course. After three months she’ll move to Uganda.
