Three Families, One Testimony!


I'm in the house of a wonderful couple, Renato e Regina. The house located at Cislago in Varese, near Milan, is a true haven of joy. The couple talks of their days as workers (40 Years!). Now double that!

Regina paints. I will share those paintings later. Renato is a musician, technology geek, and all. Believe me! Their two sons (now grown up, Beppe and Matteo) are still a great source of joy. I have spent my day with them today. They simply radiate joy. And their house, believe me, is an expanse of art. You can see it from every angle. Charity is an hallmark for them.

The other couple is Luciano and Patrizia. Here is evident in talking, in eating, in arranging. Waoh! And the open sincerity of the two! You can see how they love each other. Patrizia fascinates everybody with her cookies (dolci). You are welcome into her home just to find her art there on the table! Luciano, the worthy husband to this noble woman, keeps everybody laughing. His generosity is immense. May be he got a chance to chat with God about that! He seems to mirror God's generosity.

Mario and Anna Maria is the third couple. What a simplicity of life! The two live for their family. They proudly talk of them. They point out that after their family, nothing matters like Africa, especially Tuuru Cottolengo Centre (Meru). You can almost bet that whatever you ask of them, you will get. See how they walk hand in hand from the evening devotional Rosary. Believe me, these couples stand out.

The Tri-couple have a friendship that welcomes everybody. Their love for the poor is evident. They travel together to Tuuru (Meru-Kenya), where they bring solace to the poor. And now I've been a guest in their house for three good days! Just imagine how much I have enjoyed their generosity!

And for your reflection (Luke 10:38-42). They are three families, and one testimony!

Mwana Mpotevu au Waana Wapotevu?

Injili ya Kwaresima: Utangulizi Nafikiri sio rahisi sana kutoa tafakari kuhusu Mwana Mpotevu. Inaitwa pia Injili ya Baba mwenye huruma. Tutagundua kuwa ina majina zaidi ya haya leo. Mojawapo ya vipengele vinavyovutia zaidi vya Maisha ya Kiroho (mafundisho) ya Mt. Joseph Cottolengo ni msisitizo anaweka katika “Kuwa katika uhusiano mwema na Mungu”. Alitaka ziive kati ya wafuasi wake na Mungu. Na Injili hii (Luka 15:11-32) inatusaidia kutathmini kama tupo sawa. Labda inafaa kufikiria ni wana wawili wapotevu. Hebu tuitafakari pamoja kama Walezi wa Watoto Wa Shirika la Kipapa la Utoto Mtakatifu. Kupotelewa na Mwana! Huzuni. Niaminini kweli. Unaweza kuvumilia mara mia kupotelewa na kondoo au hata hela (haya 1-10) kuliko kuvumilia kupotelewa na mtoto. Injili hii utumika mara nyingi kama maandalizi ya maungamo. Inaonyesha picha ya Baba asiyekata tamaa, mwenye huruma kubwa. Hisia tunazopata kuhusiana na tabia ya huyu kijana aliyepotea, na kule kurudi kwake
