“We have renewed the pact and promise to continue living in the spirit of love, unity and peace which have changed our lives.” These were the words that the Chiefs of the Kingdom of Fonjumetaw wrote to Maria Voce, President of the Focolare Movement, when they gathered together with their communities last 5 March in said Kingdom, a village in the Cameroon forest. About 200 people participated in the event which took root in the history of these people. A strong bond unites the vast tropical region around Fonjumetaw to Fontem, where for the first time, in 1966, two focolarini doctors arrived to help the local population to overcome the diseases that were causing the high infant mortality rate. Fifty years ago, the Bangwa people were saved from the risk of extinction. Last September the Fons (traditional chiefs of the villages in the African region) went to Rome for the Jubilee of Mercy and to pay homage to Chiara Lubich (“Mafua Ndem,” Queen sent by God, as they named her), before her tomb at the International Focolare Centre in Rocca di Papa. The African delegation participated also in St. Peter’s Square in the meeting with Pope Francis and met the current President of the Focolare Movement, Maria Voce, and the Co-President, Jesús Morán. The Jubilee gave a new impulse to the New Evangelisation, strengthening the bonds of fraternity which these villages today are trying hard to live. The meeting of 5 March took on this meaning. The Fon recounted the “pilgrimage” to Rome with the other Fons of the zone, with Bishop Andrew Nkea Fuanya, and Bishop Emeritus, Francis Teke Lysinge. Upon inviting all to take a new step in the life of fraternity, he announced a “year of reconcilement.” Everyone agreed with joy. And in a celebrative atmosphere the youth, adults and children hugged one another to seal this commitment. One of the Chiefs presented the “dice of love”.  Then he cast it in the air. The phrase that appeared was “love one another” and it was a confirmation also through a game, of the commitment each one wanted to undertake. Then followed the experiences and staging of six points of the art of loving. One of the Chiefs recounted a strong experience: for many years he had not forgiven someone for an episode in which he had felt offended, but after hearing the invitation of the Pope to forgive and forget in the year of reconcilement, he was able to do so. At the conclusion, a festive moment ensued with the Fon and Mafua (Queen), and all the Chiefs, VIPS and focolarini. The Mafua talked about her encounters with Chiara in 2000 on the occasion of her visit to Cameroon, the “pilgrimage” of the delegation of 40 people to the Centre of the Focolare Movement in Rome, and the desire to spread the life of “Mother Chiara” amongst her people. The Chiefs’ letter to Emmaus, 17 years after Chiara’s last visit in these regions, sealed the commitment and the desire of all.  These New Evangelisation meetings will continue. This is why the Fon of Fonjumetaw assigned one of the Chiefs to take charge of them. The next is set for 2 April.
