Scholasticah Nganda, a member of the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy and director of the pastoral programmes of Solidarity with South Sudan, tells of her experience, emphasising the need to support South Sudanese women and girls, who are the main victims of the violence of the armed conflicts in their country.
“When I met the Pope in person at an audience through the congregation, he encouraged me to continue in the mission. He said to me: “Keep carrying the Good News wherever it is needed.” I believe that what the Pope wants from us missionaries is that we continue to be witnesses of the Good News of Christ precisely close to the people who suffer, close to the poor.
