Today we set off in the morning, right after the Mass, to visit the sick and elderly, who asked for the sacraments before Easter. Today is the day of their personal Easter. Their smiles, their joy and happiness, their relief after confessions, sacrament of the sick and the Holy Communion was immense. It was a time also to share stories, listen to their accounts of what has happened since we last met, time to crack a few jokes, bless their holy water, rosaries, to sit a bit and talk about was was going on in the parish. A time to connect and share. The true communion of saints...
I just returned home after finishing the morning session, to rest a bit as driving my old beaten up truck on dirt tracks full of potholes and corrugations feels like riding in a wheelbarrow with no suspension! The second safari will be done in the afternoon. The Easter time has begun in Kiabakari today...in the hearts of my sick and elderly members of the parochial community...
