“Here’s the Lord’s servant, be it done to me according to your word”
GITEGA, Burundi - The celebration of the Annunciation Solemnity, which is a feast for the whole Church in general, was carried out in a particular way at the Montfort Scholasticate, since it is a primordial feast for the Montfortian family.
In this celebration, the profession of faith of the New Superior and Formator of the Montfort Scholasticate, Father Henri ALOTEREMBI, SMM was added. Indeed, it should be noted that this is the third time that Father Henri has been appointed and has returned to this community. This is due to the fact that he is among the first Montfortians who began the construction of this community, even the realization of the Montfortian mission in Burundi.
However, the profession of faith of the new superior was received, by mandate of the Superior General, by Father Jean-Trésor BAFENGO, SMM, the parish priest of the Montfortian parish in Gitega, Burundi. The latter, during his homily, insisted on the meaning of what we were celebrating. March 25th is not only the Annunciation Solemnity that the Archangel Gabriel made to Mary, but also and above all the Incarnation Solemnity of the Word of God. By the "Fiat" of Mary, the Son of God took flesh and became one of us.
In addition, those who signed as witnesses of this profession of faith were SMM Fathers Elisé KAMBALE and Robert NATUTWANE who also celebrated on this day the first anniversary of their profession of perpetual vows in the Company of Mary.
May the Virgin Mary, who was able to incarnate God in the world, come and dwell in our hearts so that Christ finds a place in us.
To Jesus through Mary!
Bro. Emmanuel KWASIA, SMM
