HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO OUR POPE BENEDICT XVI
In 2003, an Oblate Student in Rome wrote to the then, OMI
Zambia Delegation
Superior, Fr Ron Carignan: “Today, as I was walking towards
the Vatica ticanRadio to visit a Zambian working there, I met
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger around 16.00hrs. He was going to his
office, in the Vatican…A white-haired old Romancollar.. I
greeted him and we shook hands. We talked and he asked me some
questions:
Are you a Priest? What is the name of your country?
I told him an Oblate Scholastic from Zambia...and came to
Rome three months
ago to study Theology. We talked for a few minutes.
So much about a man who might become the next Pope or at
least who will
influence the Election of the next Pope in the coming
consistory”( It was Br David Chibanda; he is no longer in the
Congregation)
On April 19th, 2006, The Pope said he cannot do the Job
alone; he seeks prayers to be Gentle and Firm Pastor.
