In this new installment of INFOR we offer a lot of information: news of the movements of their actions with men and women of "good will" as well as texts for analysis and reflection that can help us in our team meetings. We also collect profound words of Pope Francis that, against the tide, calls society to wake up, to go out of its selfishness and to act for the reception of refugees.
Among all this wealth, we wish to emphasize the testimony of Antoinette from MCW of Central African Republic. How not to get excited with the value of this woman, affected by war and her daughter's death, who took refuge in a convent and, in appalling conditions, mobilized all her forces to help others, to provide them support and comfort.
The WMCM emphasises the concept of "fraternity", in particular in the preparation of the 20152016 regional seminars. It is not always easy to live as brothers and sisters of the same family, the great human family. We have to overcome many obstacles, disagreements and fears. But when we look around us, we see that there are men and women around the world whose daily actions, without much noise, allow to restore that fraternity we all yearn.
According to Antoinette and many other members of the Central African MCW, we refuse to consider others as enemies, we resist against the pernicious ideas that lead to whom was your brother yesterday, today is your enemy.
Throughout the world, we see a rise of intolerance, racism, rejection of neighbour. The economic crisis plaguing the working and popular world leads to selfabsorption. How to resist and to fight against all when the person is being destroyed?
This resistance is launched when teams or groups of WMCW movements gather to reflect and pray together, when each opens onto the real world. Let's look at what is happening in our teams, in our movement or outside. In that way it is how we discover, like Antoinette, there are men and women, Christians and nonChristians working in this direction. The action of these sowers of humanity let hope grow for a world of peace and justice.
We keep wondering how in our daily lives, in our work, in the neighbourhood, in our commitment with others (political parties, unions and associations) we sow the seeds of fraternity. Let us not hesitate to participate in the struggles of these thousands of men and women, Christians and nonChristians, united by the same ideal of peace, fraternity and justice.
