\u201e\u0160to god u\u010diniste jednom od ove moje najmanje bra\u0107e, meni u\u010diniste!\u201c (Mt 25, 45)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U misiji Nawinda, u nedjelju 20. kolovoza 2023. godine, kad smo blagoslovili i otvorili \u0111a\u010dki dom \u201eBl. Carlo Acutis\u201c, ujedno smo proslavili i moj srebreni jubilej, 25. godi\u0161njicu sve\u0107eni\u0161tva. Obljetnice su uvijek prigode za \u201ebaciti\u201c pogled unatrag ali i prema naprijed. One su ponekad i prekretnice za dono\u0161enje novih odluka. Obljetnice nas pozivaju preispitati sve na\u0161e odnose, odluke, djelovanja\u2026 Sa zahvalno\u0161\u0107u gledam na proteklo vrijeme, kao i na te\u0161ke i delikatne trenutke, upravo takvi trenutci najvi\u0161e i najkonkretnije izgra\u0111uju. Papa Franjo nas poti\u010de da izgra\u0111ujemo \u201cmisijsku Crkvu, Crkvu izlaska, Crkvu otvorenih vrata, siroma\u0161nu Crkvu koja je sva za siroma\u0161ne, Crkvu obitelji, Crkvu poljske bolnice, Crkvu koja vida rane, Crkvu koja \u0161iri svoj prostor, Crkvu dijaloga, sinodalnu Crkvu\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hvala ljudima Nawinde i \u017eupniku fr. Theofiliusu koji su pripremili prekrasno slavlje povodom otvaranja \u0110a\u010dkog doma ali i proslave mog srebrenog jubileja. Ljudi Nawinde su siroma\u0161ni, najsiroma\u0161niji na svijetu, a opet su radosni, veseli, dru\u017eeljubivi i nasmijani, oni ti ponude sve \u0161to imaju, a to je osmijeh, zagrljaj, prijateljski stisak ruke… Hvala svima vama koji poma\u017eete ovim siroma\u0161nim ljudima, posebno djeci i mladima Nawinde. \u201eKada se stavite u slu\u017ebu drugih, otkrijete da ono \u0161to dajete bez o\u010dekivanja naknade nije nikada izgubljeno, ve\u0107 postaje jedno iznimno bogatstvo. Besplatnost, naime, olak\u0161ava du\u0161u, lije\u010di rane srca, pribli\u017eava nas Bogu, otvara izvor radosti i odr\u017eava nas mladima u srcu. Za istinsko \u010dinjenje dobra prijeko je potrebno dobro srce, odlu\u010dno u tra\u017eenju onoga \u0161to je najbolje za drugoga. Samo ljubav pobje\u0111uje sebi\u010dnost i odr\u017eava svijet.\u201c \/Papa Franjo\/ \u201ePonekad osjetimo da je ono \u0161to radimo samo kap vode u moru. Ali more bi bilo manje da mu nedostaje ta kap.\u201c \/Sv. Majka Tereza\/ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

U tradicionalnoj procesiji, uz ples i pjesmu (pogledajte video), starije osobe uvode me u crkvu. Za vrijeme procesije i jedno vrijeme u crkvi, dok se nalazimo ispod pokrivala, te osobe me\u00a0\u00a0pou\u010davaju \u017eivotu, ohrabruju me da se ne umorim, da ne posustanem i ne odustanem, poti\u010du me da i dalje s istim \u017earom radim i \u017eivim za siroma\u0161ne\u2026, oni \u017eele u sve\u0107eniku vidjeti ljubav i dobrotu Kristovu. Misa je trajala \u201esamo\u201c 4.30 sati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear brothers and sisters! I am extremely happy because today we are celebrating the opening and blessing of our boarding house. I always knew and had no doubt that we would successfully complete this project. I am also happy that I am celebrating my silver jubilee of priesthood with you in my dear Nawinda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven years ago, dear God brought me here through fr. Boris. I immediately felt that I belong here, because I met a lot of kindness, a lot of nobility and love. I especially fondly remember my departures and stayings in the outstations. Those are unforgettable moments and beautiful experiences that I will always carry and cherish in my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thank dear God for my 25 years of priesthood, especially for the last 7 years in which He connected me to Zambia and to all of You. Today I also want to thank dear Bishop Valentine and the priests of the Diocese of Livingstone who accepted me as one of them. Thanks to Fr. Boris who brought me here. Thanks to the Capuchin brothers who also accepted me as their member. Thanks to our dear parish priest Fr. Theofilius, who sees me as his older brother and without whom our boarding house project could not have been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to my dear friend Fr. John who has gladly accepted to be here with us today and to preside over this Mass and give the preach. From the beginning, Fr. John supports and helps all our projects. I thank him for that as well as for the kind words he addressed to us today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sending you greetings from our friends from Croatia who selflessly helped build our boarding house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the parish council, Legion of Mary, our youths\u2026, who prepared this celebration and to all good people who helped make this beautiful and festive ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a big thanks to all of you, especially those of you who came from the outstations. I am glad to have met you again. I promise that I will continue to help this parish as much as I can. Nawinda has a special place in my heart. I am asking you all to pray for me and for my priesthood every day so that I can continue to humbly serve God and poor people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
