It’s a tradition for the Church: for over half a century, the fourth Sunday after Easter has been dedicated to praying for vocations (married, consecrated and clerics). In the Vice-Province of Cameroon<\/strong>, we have taken the opportunity of this day to invite each other, especially young people, to consider life choices in the Church and in society: – in Ngaound\u00e9r\u00e9, at the parish of Saint Matthias in Djalingo, Sister Pauline and the first year novices met with other members of the houses of formation (postulancy and novitiate), – Sisters Marie-Th\u00e9 and I stayed in Marza, – and in Maroua, Sisters Marthe and Simone, went to the parish of Kongola, on the outskirts of Maroua.<\/p>\n In the parish of Notre Dame de la Pr\u00e9sentation in Marza, a vocational weekend was organised for young people. On the programme: entertainment, lessons on the Pope’s letter, forms of life in the Church and many other subjects that contributed to a good atmosphere among everyone. On Sunday, after mass, there were discussions on a number of points.\u00a0 At Djalingo, the young postulants (Fransaliens, Filles de J\u00e9sus and Filles de la Mis\u00e9ricorde)<\/span> and novices (Filles du Saint-Esprit and S\u0153urs du Sacr\u00e9 C\u0153ur de J\u00e9sus)<\/span> led the Sunday Mass. At the end of the celebration, they got together for some fraternal moments of relaxation: two football matches for boys and girls and a recreational evening (dance, songs, sketches, etc.).<\/p>\n At the end of this day, we continue to pray to the Lord of the harvest to “accomplish with love and zeal our common mission and that together we may be more responsible for the vitality of the charism we have received. May our witness of simple and fraternal life awaken vocations in our Congregation and attract others to share our spirituality and charism” (Cf. Prayer for the jubilee of 70 years of presence of the Daughters of the Holy Spirit in Cameroon).<\/span> Sister Vedette NDAOKA\u00cf, novitiate community, Marza-Ngaound\u00e9r\u00e9<\/em><\/strong>.

In his message for the sixty-first World Day of Prayer for Vocations, Pope Francis invited us all to be sowers of hope and builders of peace in today’s global context. To do this, the Holy Father proposes four steps: pray for the gift of vocations, be pilgrims of hope, cultivate a vision of hope and commit ourselves to one another.<\/strong><\/p>\n
May the Virgin Mary, our advocate with the Holy Spirit, always accompany us on our paths of fidelity and simplicity.<\/p>\nThe photos.<\/span>
