A Human Volcano?

By: Sr. Veronica Origenes, OSB

Cooler Than Baguio
Through Kenya sits in the Equator. Nairobi, its capital city is naturally air-conditioned. Mount Kenya, the sacred mountain of the Kikuyu people is snow capped all year around. So all the surrounding areas are cool, cooler than Baguio.

Sitting Volcano
When I came to Kenya in August 1984, I say a political situation similar to that in the Republic of the Philippines in the late 1960’s: “a guided democracy sitting on top of a volcano; seething deep within.”

Prophets Need Help Too
Please pray for the prophets of this country that they be good listeners to God’s message and courageous in carrying out His will. Our Church leaders have spoken. We are the Church. Back in here too? We are four Filipino Benedictines here in Kenya. Sr. Lourdes Edissa who is at de La Salle University completing her graduates studies. Sr. Fidelis is subprioress and novice-directress. Sr. Pacita a junior-professed is guest-mistress in our priority hours.
