What is it like for a Nigerian priest in Hungary? – VIDEO
Change language:
Nnadi Onyedikachi Benjamin was born in Nigeria but is now serving in Békéscsaba, in the city’s Anthony of Padua church. Antal Szigeti, the priest of the church, said that the Roman Catholic church does not have enough priests. Meanwhile, in Nigeria, the situation is the opposite, so they regularly send their brothers abroad to help the church. Benjamin talked about his experiences in Hungary in a video interview.
He said that he did not decide to come to Hungary, but his bishop said that his services were needed in the country. He added that when he heard the name of the country, he did not know where it was, so first, he checked on the internet. Afterwards, he googled the history of the country, the language people speak here, and he wanted to find out what people eat and drink in Hungary. In that regard, he soon found that Hungarians eat goulash soup (HERE you can find the recipe) – telex.hu reported in their video interview.
He regularly distributes food for the poor in Békéscsaba but said that, in return, he also asks people to take part in the work. He regularly visits the elderly and the sick, and since he speaks good Hungarian,
even older people welcome him with great pleasure.
He has six siblings who live at home and are studying. He highlighted that his parents showed him the way to become a priest because they not only sent him to the church but they also accompanied him. There, he met a young priest who explained to him what being a clergyman means.
Liturgical Dancing – Nigerian/Hungarian style.
Trusting they followed strictly, the do’s and don’ts from Rome, in the use of Liturgical Dancing during a Celebration of the Eucharist ?
Interesting – open for a lot of comment and opinions.
Each to there own.
If it gets a message out and “moves people” in their spirituality may they be enlightened and enriched from their experience.
Stay Safe & Well – ALL.
We have the same problem in Hawaii. They want to incorporate Hawaiian dance in the mass. Rule is you can dance before the mass or after the last amen but never during the mass.
“feel himself”? – be careful with translation, I believe you didn’t mean it.
