Catholics From Botswana

"I come from a people, very patient people, who know struggle and pain and difficulty but also, I come from people who know how to laugh, and dance, and sing, and celebrate. In Botswana the Catholic community have known the joy of God's word and God's meal of his Body and Blood since the 1920s. Slowly the joy is spreading and the desert of our lives has blossomed with new and beautiful flowers. Although it was a desert land, this was fertile soil for the see of the Gospel."

"Christian world views leadership as stewardship of divinely provided resources; human and material, centered on the mystery of the Trinity, Creation, the fall and redemption. As Christians when we pray the “Lord’s prayers’ we say ‘Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.’ We use our right to vote in order to choose a government that will facilitate the coming on the kingdom of God on earth here and now. A kingdom that will provide our daily bread, peace, prosperity and respect for human dignity, emphasizing the common good and co-division."
