Okakarara FRUST / I'm angry...
The facts: for Sunday 06.09.2015 / Sun 23 B / I'm on the plan for the Catholic Community of Okakarara at 09h !! On this Sunday Namibia changed at 02h/am the time from (yester-day) 09h to (today) 10h.at 08h55 (new/today-time) after 100km I'm before the church; the gate closed.at 09h25 (today-time) Mr. D arrived arrived (yesterday-time 10h25!!)
He opened gate and church.at 09h35 (today-time) Mrs Cty-leader arrived (y-time 10h35!!) Mr. D + Mrs Cty-L claim: they didn't get from the Parish the liturg.Sunday-plan
/ they don't know about my coming... at 09h55 Mrs A came... at 10h (today-time) 3 people present! Where is the Cty ??? we should start at 09h...
At 10h15 (today-time) after waiting for 80 minutes I decided to go...I felt pity about the Cty; too lame or refusing to show up... but why ???
Causal-Analysis-Remarks:1. The time-change is not the problem; if they have missed the time-change,
they would be present at least at 10h !!!
2. "No liturg. plan" is not the problem. Everybody knows: at 09h is every Sunday Holy Service / plan or no plan.
3. It's not an action against Vic. Leu / they didn't know I'm on the plan !!!
4. I suspect: The Community lacks leadership ! Responsible for a good leadership in the Cty is the Parish-Priest.
I fear in the Seminary they have learnt how to pray, how to live a pious life,
how to celebrate - but they didn't learn how to build a Community.
Do you remember: COMMUNITY SERVING HUMANITY !!!
They are convinced the Holy Spirit will do the pastoral work if they pray only enough. Therefore my proposal:
We should organize the 4th Sun of January every year as an all-priest-meeting to give over officially the pastoral care into the hands of the Holy Spirit...
then priests would be free to do on Sundays what they want most... Holidays,
Priest-meetings, Excursions, Holy Mass... it doesn't matter: the Holy Spirit is in charge; priests don't count.The Rom.Cath.Church in Namibia will blossom
like now the nature in Spring-time.
