A realidade dos cristãos no Egipto é a de uma minoria variada. Nem sempre é possível viver como irmãos, as diferenças levam facilmente a atritos. No entanto, as realidades do encontro e da fraternidade são reais e possíveis. O Mosteiro Anafora é um lugar que testemunha isso mesmo. [Texto: Giovanni Antonello – “Além-Mar”]

Comboni mass media and evangelization in English Speaking Africa and Mozambique
Thursday, December 9, 2021
“The appropriate use of the mass media for evangelization facilitates a fruitful encounter between the “Gospel” and “Gossip” in the world. (…) As missionaries, our mission (work of evangelization) in English Speaking Africa and Mozambique (APDESAM), as in the rest of the world, is facilitated by the media we employ but also gives the content of our communication through sharing our mission experiences.” (Fr. Kibira Anthony Kimbowa, mccj)

Thursday, December 9, 2021
Over the years, the Comboni mass media has not only undergone remarkable changes but also expanded. Nigrizia gave birth to other magazines in the institute. In the APDESAM region, we can mention New People (Kenya), Leadership (Uganda), Worldwide (South Africa) and Vida Nova (Mozambique). These publications both in print and digital were born essentially as tools for mission promotion. Today, they champion several other initiatives in the church and society. (Fr. Andrew Bwalya, mccj)

Looking at the joys and the challenges of vocation promotion, I feel we need to prepare confreres who are ready to journey with the young people and direct them to a proper discernment of the vocational path. By preparation, this does not mean only academic formation but the whole person ready to insert himself into the life of young people, to understand their values, to accept them in totality and ready to learn from them.” (Fr. Benedict Chola mccj)

Para o P. Fernando, superior provincial dos Combonianos em Portugal, a presença dos institutos missionários na Igreja local são «a memória viva da missão…, uma presença que ajuda as comunidades a sentirem-se em caminho com uma Igreja que é muito mais ampla do que os limites ‘da nossa freguesia’».
