Each year, the FSPs of Kenya offer all the deacons of the Nairobi diocese a chance to get to know the Pauline mission better. As in the past, this year too their meeting with the future priests of the diocese was a favorable time for helping them experience in a more direct and personal way the yearning of Blessed James Alberione to “offer everyone the charity of the truth.”
The service of the truth springs from the Word and Eucharist, and thus the encounter opened in the sisters’ chapel where, during a time of prayer, all the participants came to realize that “from here, I [the Lord] want to enlighten.” This enlightenment involves all the sectors of the Pauline apostolate: writing, technical work and diffusion, and transforms the humble work of the sisters into a communication of good to everyone.
At the end of their visit to the apostolic sectors of Paulines Publications Africa, the deacons expressed their gratitude for the invitation to spend this time with the FSPs because they said it helped them come to better understand the importance of the Pauline mission in Africa and throughout the world. It is to be hoped that this experience will open new paths of collaboration and communion in the Church on this continent.
