[Kd1871-covenant-solidarity] Fires raging in Cape Town - a call for Covenant Solidarity

[Maria Fischer]

Dear friends and collaborators of schoenstatt.org

Our collaborator, Sarah Leah Pimentel from South Africa, shared some 
minutes ago that the Schoenstatt Sisters at Constantia have been 
evacuated early in the morning of March 4, as firefighters are focusing 
their efforts on Noordhoek, Clovelly and Tokai this morning as well as 
assisting Groot Constantia residents evacuate as the flames fan out 
towards their doorsteps.The massive blaze broke out in Muizenberg on 
Sunday, prompting evacuations from houses and retirement homes. Scores 
of people have also been treated for smoke inhalation this week. The 
entire Table Mountain is on fire…

Extremely high temperatures and then a very strong wind set large areas 
of the Table Mountain afire on Sunday, and made the fires spread rapidly 
to surrounding areas.Over 300 firefighters have been working almost 
non-stop since Sunday, but as fire seems under control at one side, it 
starts somewhere else.Meanwhile, firefighters who have been battling the 
massive blaze say they’re overwhelmed by all the generosity of the 
public. Donations are streaming for exhausted emergency crews and those 
who have been affected by the fire. It is in moments of extreme need, 
that humanity`s best quality, solidarity, proves to be the force that 
creates heroes… and a better world.


/*Let us go on a pilgrimage of covenant solidarity to the shrines in 
Cape Town… Let us pray for strength for the fire fighters, for rain to 
fall in the right places and for the South East wind that is expected 
later not to reignite fires that had already been doused or burn new 
areas.*/

/**/

/*Let us pray in thanksgiving that no lives have been lost yet and only 
a few homes. */

/**/

/*Let us be in Covenant Solidarity with Cape Town. Now.*/

/**/

/**/



Read and share, and motivate prayers in your shrine and Schoenstatt 
groups and where ever you can.
