“Do not be ashamed to say that we are Christian!” – Said father Paulin BEWA, Oblate originally from Chad, during his homily in the church of the Mission in Aix-en-Provence, on October 2nd.
Are we witnessing to our faith in our everyday life? Today, out of respect for others, we say, we do not carry the cross, we do not have to show that we are Christians. We are Catholic Christians and we have Christian values to defend and pass on to the next generation. Let us not be ashamed to say “I am a Christian” – it is with these words that father BEWA called the faithful during the international Mass celebrated by a group of Oblates from 16 different nationalities.
For nearly two months the Oblates of 16 countries participating in the Mazenod Experience, a Renewal session of the Oblate charism which is taking place in the cradle of the Congregation.
