Letter n1 to the Congregation : Implementation of the 34th General Chapter
“The jar of flour shall not go empty, nor the jug of oil run dry.” (1 Kings 17:14)
« …Using the story of the prophet Elijah and the widow of Zarephath and taking as the title of this letter the prophetic promise expressed there, I'd like to spur us on towards a more courageous and mobilizing faith, hope and charity.
I don't pretend to offer you ready-made recipes, but I do want to provoke personal and community discernment that will stimulate us to continue our “walking together” in life and mission, without letting ourselves be paralyzed by situations. But this, of course, presupposes consistent attitudes and a new awareness. People say, “Times are bad, times are hard. Let's live well and times will be good.” (Sermones 80, 8). These words of Saint Augustine form the “breadcrumbs” of my message. Happy reading!
Fr. Ngoa Ya Tshihemba, a.a.
