"The personal experience of living with the Xirima people of Macúa and their living environment was a precious opportunity for me to deepen the meaning of the mission and the mission as a Consolata missionary. Happy and infected by the Macua perspective, I found myself enjoying and appreciating in a new way the feminine and maternal dimension inherent in our charism. The recognition, respect, hospitality and care for every seed of life present in people, peoples and history appeared to me more than ever as essential and specific characteristics of the missionary work of the Consolata Missionaries."
