The Work of the Commission

I arrived around midnight last Thursday night after a 22 hour flight, via Brussels and Rwanda.  When I awoke the next morning for breakfast, I realized that I was the last of the Commission to arrive here in Nairobi.  Some had already been here for nearly two weeks working on the preparation. 

Nearly all of the 107 delegates have arrived.  The assembly begins tomorrow (Tuesday) at 4:30 Nairobi Time.  We will start with a Karibu Party.  "Karibu" is Swahili for welcome.  This entire assembly, from start to finish has been a dream-in-the-making.  It is breathtaking to see it come to fruition. 

We have no idea what the outcome of the assembly will be, but the Holy Spirit and the charism of Champagnat are all a-buzz!  There's something (more than mosquitoes) in the air!!

  1. Great insight! Not knowing what to expect is at times one of the most comfortable places to be! Not always. This is great!
