Today is Sunday. What to do on a Sunday in Njinikom?...
Well, we had attended Saturday evening mass within the hospital chapel with many patients and that was very nice. It was like a complete circle of why we are here. The Sisters, Priest, patients, and caregivers, all of us… celebrating and glorifying God together. It was very special to me. I have made many mission trips before, mostly with non-denominational groups, and the experience has been just as great. To share God with those of different faiths is a unique experience in which there is openness, curiosity, and a variety of spiritual expression, while still together sharing the commitment to loving God and loving others.
This mission is one in which we are praying together in a familiar faith. Sharing morning mass in the convent with the Sisters is a blessed experience. Their voices are like angels, the songs express their tender love for Jesus and Mary with a beautiful rhythmic beat from their traditional instruments, and just being in their presence… which carries a fragrance of devoted love to Christ.
