Port Moresby, PNG, 26 September 2024 -- Papua New Guinea has had a unique experience with the visit of the Holy Father, Pope Francis. His longest Apostolic Journey, which included Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Singapore has come to an end, leaving us with personal, powerful, and emotional messages for each of us. For us in Papua New Guinea “his coming to us at the periphery is not a question of breaking records”, said Cardinal Antonio Tagle, but rather it is “an act of humility before the Lord, who calls us in obedience to the mission”. Throughout his time in the country, he was present for us, listening intently, offering words of encouragement and inspiring peace, love and hope amidst the violence that hinders development (Address APEC Haus, 7th September 2024).
The Holy Father impressed us with his Simplicity. He traveled in a simple family car, greeted people, shaking hands, and blessing everyone. His home was in the suburbs of Port Moresby, at the Apostolic Nunciature, Korobosea. What stands out will be his visit to Baro, a little village in Vanimo at the personal invitation of a group of pilgrims led by Fr Martin Prado IVE, in 2019. At the end of every event, he would invite the pilgrims to ‘PRAY’, the Our Father or the Hail Mary after which he gave us a blessing. His Spirituality has evoked in us a renewed commitment to the divine. “A calmness reigned over the city, during the four days”, remarked Steven Mase, NBC program coordinator as he described the atmosphere in Papua New Guinea during the days of the visit. The Pope told the young people, "'Be a Wantok of love,' speak the language of the heart, the language of love, the language of Service".
The inspirational articles in this second issue of the 2024 Salesian Bulletin Magazine, are beautifully written and reflect the authors striving to live the dream of Don Bosco. May they encourage us to do the same.
With gratitude to all who have helped in the production.
