 This past summer I had the great privilege of traveling to Rwanda, where I spent 10 days with Immaculee Ilibagiza (Left to Tell) and a handful of others from around the world. It was an emotional journey, and I cried every day, to the point that it became a running joke. "Let's see...it's 10 a.m. and Kitty hasn't cried yet--should be coming soon!" Rwanda is where over one million people were slaughtered in a genocide that lasted for three months in 1994. It is also the site of the only Vatican-approved Marian appparition on the continent of Africa.
I wasn't quite sure why I was going there, given the historical violence, the health concerns and the difficult travel. But Immaculee had asked me to come more than once, and a generous anonymous donor (thank you, angel, whoever you are!) covered a big chunk of the expenses. When my husband gave me the green light, it just seemed the right thing to do.
Our time was split between the capital city of Kigali and the small village of Kibeho where Mary appeared to a number of young people in the 1980's. To tell you about all of our adventures will take hours of typing and editing pictures, so I promise to do that for you when I get a little free time.
For now the easiest way for me to share it is in person with my laptop and a projector. If you would like to me to share my experiences with your parish or group, as well as provide information about the apparitions in Kibeho, please just give Joe Condit at CMG Booking a call. I love show and tell, especially about this trip!
In the meantime, here's a picture of the sublime sunrise from my bedroom window in Kibeho:
