Can U Get Pink Eye More Than Once

South Africa - The Land of the celebration joy

as "mutual give and take," added Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller, the mission of the Church in the 21st Century means. For a large party in the South African Benedictine abbey Inkamana on Sunday, he thanked both the missionaries and missionaries from the Diocese of Regensburg and the nuns and priests from Africa who work in East Bavaria.
Even the hard mass in the abbey church was consecrated in 1953 under the motto of "give and take." Thus, shared the musical design of the cathedral choir and the choir of novices "Nardini Sisters". The cathedral choir took over most of the liturgical music: They sang the measurement canon in settings by Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and Gutiérrez de Padilla, but also the "Ave Verum" by Mozart and the "unofficial anthem of South Africa's visit," Ubi caritas et amor "by Duruflé. The six-Nardini novices designed two processions with which the reading book and the offerings were conducted to the altar. The pounding rhythm of Zulu music, the colorful cloth that had wrapped around the young sisters, her habit, but the gesture of sowing and harvesting mediated the 350 visitors a vivid impression of the South African religiosity.
One of the highlights at the beginning of the song "Those who believe are never alone" - the "hit" of the Pope's visit in Regensburg. Text Author Horoba Hagen - as head of the Center for International Church of the main organizers of the South Africa trip - had to own English translation contributed. Accompanied by Director of Music Roland Büchner on the organ, the faithful sang so now top of his voice: "In faith we are not alone ..." Many of the 31
Regensburg missionaries and missionaries, who today are still in southern Africa, were personally Inkamana come - among them the oldest Nardini Sisters, Sr. Sola Schaumann and Sr. Carmelina Zink. The Mitzelebranten were the three bishops Hubert Bucher, and Fritz Oswald Hirmer Lobinger, not only as Pastor of the dioceses of Bethlehem, Aliwal North and Umtata did speak of himself but also for their support specifically African religious practices - such as the "Bible part", which is now known worldwide. It was immediately clear why the abbot of Inkamana, William Sieber, could say in his welcome: "What would the Catholic Church of South Africa without the diocese of Regensburg"
In his homily, Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Mueller thanked "all sisters, brothers, priests and bishops who came from Regensburg to South Africa ". paid tribute in a special way he work of Mallersdorf Congregation: "The Nardini Sisters give signs and wonders of a selfless love for their neighbor. They live with sick and poor people and share with them everything they need. "The current pastoral visit, Müller added, should" support of the Diocese of Regensburg for the South African church to express ". This idea was the bishop once more, when Abbot Godfrey Sieber asked about the reception afterwards, "we are not forgotten in the future." Gerhard Ludwig Müller says, "We want to support the Church of South Africa continue - and financially."
After the thanksgiving service on Sunday morning and a varied program on the afternoon tour of the cathedral choir in the evening, another highlight of the festival. Old masters and modern church composers, liturgical patterns and free musical forms of piety - in the Abbey Church offered the young singer the whole range of their repertoire dar. with particular excitement was the premiere of Enjott Schneider's "Canticle of St.. Francis had been expected ". The eight-part work takes a turn back to compositional techniques of the High Middle Ages, but also uses modern means such as choral whisper, clusters, and return interval curves. Throbbing creation of the world pushing rhythms to the manifestation of things have become, from archaic original ground rises to the light of time and presence.
the Regensburg Cathedral Choir worked all these facets out vividly in the anthemic appeal of creation as "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" or "Mother Earth" - always connected to the leitmotif recurring praise of God: "Blessed are You, my Lord." The work of the missionaries in the deprived areas of South Africa came very close to the passages in which Francis ankheit of Kr , tribulation and death is: "Blessed are all who endure in Peace because of you, Most High, they will be crowned. "Even before the South Africa trip had stressed Domkapellmeister Roland Büchner, he would by the cathedral choir, commissioned composition to" dedicate Franciscan spirit "in the charitable activities of the Mallersdorf nurses and other spiritual helpers from the diocese of Regensburg in effect. Thus, the first performance in the Abbey Church of Inkamana to a resounding symbol of Christian charity. (Thomas Hill)
