CARITAS DEVELOPPEMENT MAHAGI-NIOKA (CDM) JUST CELEBRATED HIS BOSS: HOLY ELISABETH OF HUNGARY

This Tuesday, November 17, 2020, Caritas Development Mahagi-Nioka has just celebrated for the third time its patron Saint Elisabeth of Hungary.

The activities began at half past ten with a mass said by His Excellency Monsignor Sosthene AYIKULI, Bishop of the Diocese of Mahagi-Nioka. In his homily, he exhorts Christians to two keys to success. According to him, the first key is the fear of God: "God who himself says that we must not serve two masters, that is to say serve God and money, will do everything so that the goods of this world does not surpass God, money does not pass above everything… ”.

The second key is that Christ calls for renunciation: "Renouncing the holdings of material goods does not mean losing interest in these goods, does not mean losing interest in money, does not mean losing interest in what is happening, but putting everything in. in the direction of the kingdom of God, to put everything at the service of his apostolate, at the service of his ministry so that these goods help us to fulfill our duty, to fulfill our mission vis-à-vis the Lord ”.

The activities will follow one another in the multipurpose room Alphonse Marie RUNIGA where two speeches will be given by Reverend Abbot Prosper RUGABA, Director of Caritas Development Mahagi-Nioka and His Excellency Monsignor Sosthène AYIKULI, Bishop of the diocese of Mahagi-Nioka.

For Caritas Développement Mahagi-Nioka, taking Saint Elisabeth of Hungary as its patroness is a virtue that pushes her further to help the poor: "she takes Conrad of Marburg as spiritual director. He treats her bluntly, even with cruelty to which she responds with exemplary gentleness. From now on she devotes all her life and her money to the poor for whom she has a hospital built ”.

The day will end with the final blessing of His Excellency Monsignor Sosthène AYIKULI where the place will be left to dance lovers until x time.
