Throughout the year, I wished that I could visit the Missionary Sisters in Raducaneni and can also learn about their work. The end of August it was time.
I went on the night train to Iasi - unfortunately not in the sleeping car, because I was too late at the counter. Next we went to a very rapid rate after Raducaneni Maxi Taxi. Once there I
was welcomed very nicely by Sr. Patricia, Sr. and Sr. Michael Serafin.
los DC went with the young crowd to be present at the hours. First, the small morning the larger the afternoon and evening the young people. I was very surprised how well behaved the kids were. We sang a lot. On the evening with the young people I took out my trumpet and we played together. Of course, I also took part in the prayers in the morning and evening.
On Sunday I was looking forward to the Mass. It was a beautiful experience, because the church was full! The children stood in front of the sanctuary, I also, that behind the boys as "watchdogs" - the views were equally surprised when I addressed them in Romanian.
After Mass I was allowed to accompany Michael Sr 2 families. That was very touching. The first family lived in very poor, dirty children, the grandmother drunk.
The second family had a bit of a bigger house - but again problems with alcohol.
the afternoon I was allowed to accompany the youth group in the forest. We played various games, danced, ate and talked and ...
celebrated on Monday morning we Parinte Adi (a young priest from Raducaneni) a hl. Mass with the Sisters. After Mass, sr Patricia went with me to the social center - also very touching. Everything was clean and everything's different to ours. For example, there is no barrier-free output, the rooms very full ..
On Monday afternoon I went back on the road to Bucharest - the baggage many new experiences and encounters. I was impressed by the sisters and their work in Raducaneni. Affected by their relationships with the people there.
also fascinating that the sisters from Austria, Indonesia and India will, however run jointly in Romanian.
