A Letter from Father Anastasio
January 1, 2010
Dear friends,
We have entered a New Year, which is just flying by. Europe
has been hit with a tough winter. Some airports
have stopped operating and there are many problems
on the highways. Unfortunately, ice has also entered
the hearts of many people and they have become insensitive
to the needs of their brothers. Benedict XVI. is
trying to put in our society a warm mission of love,
which the world needs more than ever before. �e Pope
has been spreading this mission
since the beginning of
his pontificate and he
wanted to remind us of it
with his prayer in our
church in Prague in front of
the statue of Infant Jesus of
Prague.
And these are our latest
news. Although Christmas
holidays are already over,
they are still fresh in our
memories. For many years
now, we have been decorating
the little square in front
of our church in the spirit of
the holiday. Large spruce
trees make up a background for the colourful figures:
shepherds with sheep and the three kings who are
turned, together with camels, in the direction of the entrance
of the church in order to meet Infant Jesus in the
manger. Everything is shining inside of the church
thanks to the many hours of hard work of our sisters
and Fr. Lancy who was also helping this year; he is a
young Carmelite father
from India and
has been with us for
three years already.
At 10 p.m. on Christmas
Eve the Apost
o l i c n u n c i o i n
Prague, Mons. Diego
Causero, celebrated a
holy mass in Italian
and I concelebrated
with him. Our prior,
Fr. Petr Šleich celebrated
the midnight
mass in Czech and
Fr. Victor and Fr.
Lancy concelebrated
with him. At noon
on Christmas Day it
We are getting visits more
and more o�en from
mothers and
grandmothers with their
children, who are coming
to look at Infant Jesus.
�e increase of such visits
can certainly be
attributed to the Pope’s
visit in September 2009.
was a great joy to see our church
filled with faces of all colours:
there were Asians and Africans.
Fr. Lancy from India celebrated
the holy mass, which was accompanied
by the music of a Philippine choir whose members
are living in Prague. We are getting visits more
and more o�en from mothers and grandmothers with
their children, who are coming to look at Infant Jesus.
�e increase of such visits can certainly be attributed
to the Pope’s visit in September 2009.
Fr. Victor celebrated a holy mass at 5 p.m. in Spanish
to a church full of faithful primarily from South America.
I celebrated a holy mass in Italian at 6 p.m. During
consecration as I raise the chalice, which is concealing
the blood of the Lord’s suffering, I remember of all the
suffering, especially our young African
friends who know how to laugh even in
their difficult trials. �e joy of Christmas
cannot leave us indifferent to human suffering.
�e manger is a source of joy but
he child that we adore is crucified.
Now the word goes to Fr. Marcello who
sent, together with his greetings, also several
pieces of good news: “�e newly safe
situation, despite the lasting difficulties
due to insufficient infrastructure, contributed
to the re-opening of many village
schools with over twelve thousand students
from schools that are led by missionaries
from the diocese, as well as to the
re-opening of the catechist school in
Ngaoundaye and Bocaranga.
We also have some news from our formation community
in S. Elia in Bouar. Fr. Frederico Trinchero, who has
recently completed his patrology studies, has permanently
joined us, and Brother Giancarlo Cenci has also returned
among us. Also other Fathers are teaching, mainly Fr.
Giovanni Tomasi who has recently taken his solemn
vows. Two external teachers: Fr. Marie-Philippe, a
French professor of
spiritual theology,
and Fr. Francis, a

of us Carmelite
Fathers in the area
of teaching.
We currently have
thirteen Carmelite
students, out of
whom seven are
from Central Africa
and the others are
from Rwanda and
Burundi.
We are supporting

the agricultural co-operations, teachers’ education and
help to orphans through the Charity led by Fr. Aurelio.
In S. Elia we have been helping for some time to over 80
orphans in the school and charity area; this is thanks to
individual families and the “Missionary Friendship” society
from Arenzano. An “SOS village for orphans” was recently
opened in Bouar and 72 children are living there already.
Mons. Giuda Taddeo Okolo, the Apostolic nuncio in the
Central African Republic, visited us. He is tied to the
Carmel through deep friendship; he wears a Carmelite
scapular. During his diplomatic stay in Prague, he heard
about our missions from Fr. Anastasio and he was glad
to be able to visit them personally.
A great experience was the meeting of all Christians from
the villages in the area of Bokayan that Fr. �ierry-
Charles organized in Bozoum. �e chosen topic was the
belief in witchcra�. One of the guests invited was the general
procurator from Mbaiki, Gervais Ngovon, who was
trying to patiently explain in his contribution that it is
only out of ignorance and fear that people consider certain
individuals as the carriers of the force of evil, who evoke
illness and can cause death. Unfortunately, due to this belief,
which is spread in all social levels, many people behave
irrationally and poor victims end up in jail with the approval
of official representatives.”
I had already written
these lines
when I found out
about the events in
Haiti. I thought of
the Archbishop
Bernardito Auza,
the Apostolic nuncio,
and of the
Carmelites in this
country. I have positive

to pray and do what
is in our power in
order to provide

with the Haiti community, I have met many of its

I am sending my greetings with
this pain in my heart.
May the Infant Jesus bless us all.

A testimony of the Gospel …
“Father, I have been waiting for you
for half a year already …”
A day in the savannah with Father Marco Poggi
May Christ fill your hearts with peace! It has been
four months already since I have come to the
mission in Bozoum and in October I joined Father
�ierry-Charles in his pastoral work in the villages of savannah…
�ere are 36 villages scattered along the dirt paths. It must
have been a huge task for Father �ierry to manage to visit all
these villages on his own. �e Lord wanted for him to find an
assistant…
�e first missionary task is to bring Jesus! I have to state
that in some of the villages it was more like to “re-bring” Jesus
- to encourage the Christians to start to
take their faith seriously, and to once
again celebrate the faith in the infinite
love of the Lord!
I enjoy meeting people, especially at
confession and during Mass. �eir stories
are o�en complicated but they are
good and simple people; they suffered
due to many problems: the war in the
year 2003 and because of the zaraguinas rebels in the past
years. Now the situation is improving, people feel more secure
and they are returning to their work in the fields. Faith has become
stronger for some of them, weaker for others.
It was not possible to visit some of the villages for a long
time… We have not been in two villages directly south towards
Baoro since the year 2003 because the road is not accessible.
I celebrated a mass in the Ndonga village in the
middle of October and then they had to wait half a year for
the next mass… In another village, Konkere, it was two
months…
It is beautiful to see how every time you come to a village,
it is a festive event for them and they give you an amazing welcome…
In Marsaka, for example, when I arrived there for the
first time, they greeted me by shouting and dancing around
me and singing: “E wara fini Pere awe, Nzapa a toka lo na e,
singuila na mo Nzapa!” “We have a new Father, God sent
him to us! �ank you Lord!”
�ese are people who know how to be joyous… but they
need for the faith to take solid roots inside them. We are actually
all continuing on our path in order for the seed of faith,
that was implanted in us, to be able to continue to grow and
I enjoy meeting
people, especially at
confession and
during Mass.
for the Gospel not to remain only beautiful words but for it to
become the base of our real life. �ey also need support because
the general mentality is leading them in a different direction…
May Jesus Christ encourage the hearts of our
Central African brothers and sisters and also our hearts in
order for us to be able to pass on the testimony of hope that
we carry inside of us.
I celebrated the Christmas Eve mass in the village Konkere
on the route between Bozoum-Paoua. I brought with me a
small “portable” aggregate in order for us to have a little light
in the village and I also used it for the showing of a movie
about the birth of the Lord. For Christmas
Day I was in the villages Mboo and
Tatale, while Father �ierry was celebrating
a Christmas mass in the villages Bokpayan
and Kayanga.
Surely many things are needed to
help the poor, lonely old people and orphans
from villages. We have an orphanage
in Bozoum
but in the villages in the savannah,
there is nothing. During this season
of the year, there is a big difference
between day and night temperatures,
when it is very cold at night. Many
older people asked for a blanket or
warm clothing; I bought some for
them. �ey cost 2750 CFA or 4 EUR.
O�en an orphan when he/she is
sick cannot afford to go to the hospital.
For example, I sent one girl with
a leg sick to the bone to Paoua for
money from a charitable gi� sent
from Italy… We must go on!
Siriri na Ndoye ti Nzapa a duti
na be ti i! May peace and God’s love
guide you!
Bara ala kwe!!! Greetings to all of
you.

Starting with this edition you can personally send
messages to missioni@carmeloligure.it
and “brother Carmel” will send you an answer.
Dear Father, I am the mother of Fedory who has
been a volunteer in the Central African Mission in
Baoro for four months. I would like to thank the
fathers and sisters from Baoro and Bozoum for
this great opportunity that they are giving to our
children. The unforgettable experiences will
strengthen these young people and will make
them more conscious. Thanks to my daughter’s
stories, also our family feels closer to the suffering.
One young volunteer wrote: “I saw God in the
eyes of those children”. Even I believe that the
Lord becomes a child every day in those thousands
of little ones… that can help us feel His
great love: the Lord who becomes a child in order
to smile at us!
Gloria
Dear Gloria,
It is beautiful to share an experience from the mission!
You have a daughter in the mission and you
are experiencing months of mercy, and it is a little
bit as if you were pregnant again, you feel your
daughter inside of you in a special way. The mission
is a gift to the whole family: make a treasure out of
it and always experience it with joy!

Three years ago in Prague
Father Anastasio showed
me pictures from the
Carmelite mission in the Central
African Republic and he gave a
wooden giraffe to my family
that was made by the
people from this country.
He was leaving for Africa
the next day and he invited
me to join him. My immediate
answer was “no”. I
didn’t think about Africa
a�er this meeting. When I
completed my studies in mechanical
engineering I started to work for
a large company in Mexico City.
One day, although my life was continuing
quite well, out of nowhere I
started to feel the need to help. It
was not difficult to understand that
it was God who had chosen me to
go to Africa: three months later I
was sitting on a plane landing in
Bangui, the capital city of the Central
African Republic. My experi-
ence began in July 2009 with the intention
to change the lives of others
and I never imagined that I would
change more than anyone.
Soon a�er that I realized the

sphere of the mission, the wide
spectrum of the projects of the Discalced
Carmelites in the world, especially
in the Central African
Republic and how a heart full of
love and a great strong will can truly
change the world.
I was proud of the fact that I
was the first Mexican missionary
here in Bozoum because if God’s
love knows no boundaries, neither
we should know them. I had the
opportunity for the time of six
months to cooperate on various
projects: in the orphanage in Bozoum
“Arc-en-Ciel” I helped with the education
of amazing children; in the
Medical Centre in
Bozoum I personally
saw the serious consequences
of extreme
poverty and the lack
of education, and in
the Nutritional Centre
in Baoro I “fought
hunger on the front
line”, that millions of people and
children fight every day. I cannot
say that my stay in Africa was always
easy, it was actually o�en quite difficult,
but every time I was in a difficult
situation something happened that
gave me the strength to go on. When
I think about my work in the CAR,
I recall so many beautiful moments
that I would like to share with you.
I have to take this opportunity to
tell about one Saturday in “Arc-en-

Ciel”. We were distributing the
rice among the children, everyone
got a little bit; when we had finished
one boy said to me: “Raul,
my brother, come and eat with me.”
I turned around and I saw his
hand that he was offering me his
bowl of rice and there were two
spoons in the bowl. �e fact that
he considered me to be his brother
and that he offered me probably
the only food that he had that
day, caused everything to change
inside me. I had never before felt
such intense happiness as I had
found here. Every time I see a
child smiling, it is as if I see God
because I am convinced that every-

I would

family that has

every child that
laughed here
with me because that gave me the

that I would like to invite everyone
not to waste a single day of our

it needs it so much. Let us
listen to the voice of God that is
constantly speaking to us, let us
work for it diligently and we will
see that miracles can truly happen.

Projects for the mission
We will donate an ambulance
to the medical centre in Baoro!
THE MEDICAL CENTRE
“Centre de Santé” in Baoro was
reopened on December 1st thanks
to doctor Vittoria Mattei and two
Central African nurses “securistes”,
Rachelle and Georgette and the
Central African lab technician,
Benoît. They visit and examine the
sick, they treat the injured, they
hand out medicine and explain how
to use it.
Giorgio treats burns that are often in
an awful condition due to the “care”
of local healers who use as medical
instruments red-hot spear ends or
razors… in addition to medicine
made from plants and roots.
BOZOUM, MARCH 9, 2009: VITTORIA AND GIORGIO ARE HELPING
IN THE VILLAGES IN THE SAVANNAH; THE THOUGHT TO DO
SOMETHING TOGETHER TO HELP THE SICK ORIGINATED THERE.
Benoît, the lab technician is
excellent: he is able to determine an
exact diagnosis of malaria, intestine
and skin parasite diseases, sexually
transmittable diseases,
typhus/typhoid and paratyphoid,
anaemia, etc. His tests enable
targeted treatment rather than
prescribing more medicine than is
necessary.
With the help of coloured bars
made for effective communication,
we are giving people health
education and we speak about
nutrition and hygiene. Even the
official representative in the area, a
respected authority, is helping us
spread this
information.
Only during the
month of
December we
made a
malnutrition
diagnosis in 21
children (we have
a new
malnourished
child almost every
day!) and we are
already treating 80
children in various
stages of
seriousness. Every
day the centre is
flooded with people…
Sometimes we have “dark days”
when everything seems hopeless
because the problems exceed our
possibilities but we believe in
Providence and we do not rely only
on our strength.
THE PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Our immediate goal is to have an
ambulance: it must be a jeep
because we are working in an area
where there is only one paved road
(and even that one is in bad shape)
and during the rainy season, the
mud roads are extremely slippery
due to mud.
EXPENSES
We would like to buy it here in
Bangui in order to save
transportation costs and to have it
as soon as possible. The cost is over
45.200 € but our will to help
people will not stop due to high
costs.
