"Sowing Fraternity"

Details
Category: Archives

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.

Jean Michel Lanoizelez WMCW Treasurer
