by Antonella PrennaNemi – “How can I exercise my episcopal ministry not simply as an administrator or decision-maker, but as a servant of communion who guides, listens, accompanies, coordinates and strengthens the missionary Church entrusted to me?”This was one of the reflections shared with Fides by Bishop Markos Gebremedhin CM, Vicar Apostolic of Jimma-Bonga, Ethiopia. The Lazarist bishop took part, together with 20 other bishops from English-speaking Africa, in the formation course “Servants of Communion in the Church”, organized by the Dicastery for Evangelization, Section for First Evangelization and New Particular Churches . The course concluded yesterday, September 19, at the Ad Gentes Centre in Nemi.“It was a time rich in grace and meaning. After more than ten years of episcopal service, a bishop brings substantial pastoral experience, but also needs time to step back, listen, discern and allow the Holy Spirit to renew his missionary vision,” Bishop Markos stressed. “This experience in Nemi can be understood not simply as a course, but as a spiritual renewal and strengthening of the episcopal ministry. The formation has given me an opportunity to pause from the daily responsibilities of governance and pastoral administration and return to the heart of my vocation as a bishop. Being together with other bishops who have served for more than ten years creates a unique fraternity. We can share our experiences, challenges, failures, hopes and discoveries without feeling alone in the ministry. What is particularly new is not necessarily that we learn completely new theological information. Rather, we are looking at our episcopal ministry with renewed eyes. The experience, reflections and challenges of the past years are being re-read in the light of the Gospel, the Holy Spirit and the missionary mission of the Church.”Among the themes addressed during the days of formation, Bishop Markos was particularly struck by missionary evangelization, pastoral governance, financial sustainability, conflict and reconciliation, communication, synodality, safeguarding, young people, women, and collaboration with priests, religious and the laity.“What is especially beneficial for me and for the future of my Apostolic Vicariate of Jimma-Bonga is the following concrete suggestions:- Spiritual renewal before pastoral renewal. The first person who needs evangelization and conversion is the shepherd himself. A renewed bishop can help renew the clergy, religious and laity. Another important question is how to move from administration to missionary leadership. It encourages me to ask not only, “How do I administer the Vicariate?” but “How do I lead Jimma-Bonga toward a more missionary Church?” Bishop Markos also stressed the importance of listening to other bishops. “Listening to other bishops strengthens the conviction that the bishop does not carry the mission alone. Priests, religious, catechists, youth and lay faithful must participate in discerning and carrying out the mission. This experience can help me develop a stronger culture of ongoing formation, fraternity, accompaniment and spiritual renewal among the 42 clergy of the Vicariate.” The Apostolic Vicar also reflected on the role of young people. “The Church needs to see young people not simply as recipients of pastoral programs but as missionary protagonists and builders of communion, hope and peace.”“Many of the topics presented, whether directly or indirectly, touched the very heart of my ministry and my responsibility as Bishop and shepherd of the Apostolic Vicariate of Jimma-Bonga. For me, this has been much more than an academic or pastoral course. It has been a time to pause, to listen, to reflect and, above all, to allow the Lord to renew me in my vocation and mission as a Bishop. The sharing of experiences among brother Bishops has also reminded me that, although each of us comes from a different pastoral reality, we share the same call to serve Christ and His people with humility, courage and hope.”“The formation helps me return to Jimma-Bonga with the question: What does the Gospel require from us in our particular social, cultural, economic and religious context? This can strengthen proclamation, catechesis, sacramental life and missionary outreach. If I ask myself what is new for the future,from what I have understood the newness is not simply acquiring new knowledge, but receiving a renewed spiritual and missionary vision for exercising my episcopal ministry. For my given responsibilities as Vicar Apostolic of Jimma-Bonga ,the fruits could become very concrete: a renewed pastoral plan, stronger synodal structures, better formation of clergy and laity, greater involvement of youth, missionary expansion, responsible financial management and deeper collaboration with the local Church and other ecclesial partners.”“Ultimately, the most important benefit is that I return to Jimma-Bonga not simply with ideas from Nemi, but with renewed energy, deeper fraternity with brother bishops, greater openness to the Holy Spirit and a clearer sense of my responsibility as shepherd and guide of the missionary Church. I return to Jimma-Bonga with a renewed spiritual and missionary outlook. I feel encouraged to strengthen communion among our priests, religious, seminarians and lay faithful, to listen more attentively to our young people and families, and to promote a more participatory, synodal and missionary Church. I also return with a renewed desire to serve the poor and vulnerable and to seek sustainable ways of supporting the evangelizing mission of our Vicariate.”In conclusion, Bishop Markos expressed his gratitude to the Holy See and, in particular, to the Dicastery for Evangelization for offering him this opportunity. “This time has been truly fruitful for me. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide us, renew our hearts as shepherds, and give us the wisdom and courage to lead our people toward Christ.”

Nzama – The memory of the first missionaries, the gift of two new priests, and the call to recognize in every baptized person someone sent forth by Christ: these were the central themes of the national celebration marking 125 years of the Catholic Church’s permanent presence in Malawi. The solemn Eucharistic celebration was held on Saturday, September 19, at St Mary’s Parish in Nzama, in the Diocese of Dedza, a place closely linked to the origins of the Catholic presence in the country. Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu, Secretary of the Dicastery for Evangelization and Special Delegate of the Holy See, presided over the liturgy, during which two candidates were ordained to the priesthood. In his opening greeting, the Nigerian Archbishop conveyed to the faithful of Malawi the blessing of Pope Leo XIV and the greetings of the missionary Dicastery. The Jubilee recalls 1901, the year in which the missionary work began that would sow the seed from which the local Catholic Church would eventually flourish.During the celebration, particular tribute was paid to the work of the Missionaries of Africa, commonly known as the White Fathers, the Montfortian Missionaries, and other evangelizers who came to proclaim the Gospel in a land that was then distant and largely unknown. The anniversary, however, was not experienced simply as a historical commemoration. In his homily, Archbishop Nwachukwu highlighted the link between the sacrifice of the first missionaries and the missionary responsibility entrusted today to Malawi’s Catholic communities. Recalling those who left their families and countries of origin, facing illness, isolation, and the uncertainty of whether they would ever return home, the Archbishop observed: “Most of them left without knowing if they would ever go back home. Their leaving was like a dying. And many of them did die.” He then quoted Psalm 126:6: “They go out full of tears carrying seed for the sowing. They come back full of songs, carrying their sheaves.” Those words, he explained, provide the spiritual key to the Jubilee. “Today we are celebrating the fruits of their sacrifice. We are today the sheaves of what they planted”: the Catholics of Malawi are the fruits of the Gospel seed sown amidst suffering, poverty, and the gratuitous gift of self. Gratitude to the pioneers of the mission, therefore, cannot be reduced to commemoration; it is expressed through fidelity to the Gospel and through the commitment to safeguard and spread the “new life” that has been passed on.Within this framework, the ordination of the two new priests took on a particularly evocative symbolic significance. It appeared as a sign of the fruitfulness of the mission and of the maturation of the local Church. “The ordination of these two brethren of ours, which would not have been possible without them, is a befitting tribute to the memory of their endeavours and sacrifice,” Nwachukwu said, directly linking the work of the first missionaries with the emergence of new vocations among the people of Malawi. Addressing the two ordinands, the Archbishop recalled that the priesthood is a ministry of service. The Lord Jesus is the only High Priest, while the whole People of God, through Baptism, have been constituted a priestly people. Priests are entrusted with a specific task: to proclaim the Gospel, guide the People of God, and preside over the celebration of the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. This is not a position of privilege, but a service rendered to the ecclesial community. In his homily, the Secretary of the missionary Dicastery therefore insisted on the inseparable bond between priesthood and mission: “Remember that, like every other Christian, you are primarily missionaries,” the Archbishop told the two candidates. He referred to the Father’s sending of the Son and to the mandate given by the Risen Christ to his disciples: “As the Father has sent me, even so I do I send you” . In the light of Sacred Scripture, the priest is not merely one who accompanies an already existing community; he is one who is sent to make Christ present, proclaim his Word, and lead men and women to faith and communion within the Church. Reflecting on the ministry of the Word, Archbishop Nwachukwu urged the new priests not to forget their parents, catechists, and teachers who transmitted the gift of faith to them. He encouraged them to read and meditate assiduously on the Word of the Lord, so as to “believe what you have read, teach what you have learned in faith, and live what you have taught.”His exhortation was forceful: “The Word of God is not your property: it is the Word of God, not to be replaced with your own word or imagination.” The priest, the Archbishop stressed, is at the service of a Word received and safeguarded by the Church; he is not its owner, nor can he reduce it to an expression of his own ideas.Priestly ministry also requires ecclesial communion. The Archbishop recalled that the title of pastor is neither an honorary distinction nor something that can be exercised independently. It entails communion with the Bishop, the successor of the Apostles, and through him with the Successor of PeterCommenting on Jesus’ words to Peter – “When you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go” – Nwachukwu stated: “Being shepherd means abandoning totally your personal will, whims and caprices, and allowing yourself to be led in the Church.”In the concluding part of his homily, the Archbishop proposed the biblical figure of Melchizedek as a program for priestly life. As “king of righteousness” and “king of peace,” Melchizedek points, according to Nwachukwu, to the need to make justice and peace concrete criteria of ministry. Priests must be men who heal divisions rather than deepen them. “As priests you too are called to be bridge-builders,” he said, recalling the traditional meaning of the Latin term pontifex.This vocation to reconciliation also requires rejecting exclusive affiliations and divisions that wound social and ecclesial life. Melchizedek, the Archbishop observed, is presented in the Bible without a genealogy and without an ethnic or physical description; for this reason, he is a universal figure. He therefore explicitly urged the new priests not to allow themselves to be imprisoned by “tribalism, racism, nationalism, chauvinism, jingoism,” adding: “Never let yourselves slip into anti-Melchizedek mentalities and behaviour.”One hundred and twenty-five years after the beginning of the Catholic mission in Malawi, the celebration in Nzama thus presented the local Church with a renewed call to proclaim the Gospel with joy in the present and into the future. The memory of the first evangelizers points not only to a foundational chapter in the Church’s history, but becomes an invitation to proclaim the Gospel with the same spirit of selfless dedication, to foster new vocations, and to build reconciled communities.The two priestly ordinations thus appeared as a sign of a Church that, firmly rooted in the faith it has received, is called not merely to preserve an inheritance, but to continue the apostolic work with renewed missionary zeal.
