An Easter moment of hope in Pakistan
QUETTA: 11 April 2010 -- Bishops, Clergy and Religious, and lay helpers have all benefited from the priestly ministrations of Fr Peter Zago in the immediate lead- up to Easter and beyond.
Fr Peter was busy past during Holy Week with the preparation and delivery of the recollection for all Clergy and Religious on invitation of Fr. Victor, the Prefect Apostolic, who pleased with an earlier retreat he had given to the Bishops during their four day meeting in Quetta. One fo the first Pakistani Salesians, Bro. Eric, was instrumental in this preparation and delivery with his illustrated (Powerpoint) input.
On the Wednesday of Holy Week the community went to the Ziarat summer house for a Recollection for the 20 co-helpers and teachers at the Oratory. The Ziarat Recollection experience was indeed very rich in spiritual content for the youth as well for the three Salesians, Bro. Eric, Bro. Carmelo and Fr Peter himself. As he put it: "we are fine, serene and more than ever commited to our not easy mission".
There are moves afoot to bolster the mission in Pakistan with additional manpower.
