The person
you see on the left, with the cap, is a Bishop: Monsignor Bijoy. He has been
appointed Bishop of the newly created diocese of Sylhet. The diocese has 6
priests. The Bishop has not yet a house; he is living in a rented apartment
where he cleans and cooks by himself. He has no car, traveling by train or bus.
He doesn’t have any Cathedral, or money to build one, nor sources of income.
The Christians of the new diocese are mostly workers in the tea plantations,
living in subhuman conditions. I have had the privilege to know him last week
when he accompanied us to visit the area in which we are going to build the
first Marist school in Bangladesh. Bishop Bijoy is a holy man, spiritual,
alert, smiling, optimistic, unassuming. He has promised us all the support we could need dealing
with people from the surrounding area and with the local authorities. A marvelous
person.

Me alegro que nos presente al obispo, le irá bien sin duda pediremos para que pronto tenga una catedral como Dios manda que no es necesario que sea grande. pienso en la Almudena, siempre funcioó la cripta mientras se contruia sobre ella una hermosísima catedral. Y deseo que puedan empezar pronto las obras de la escuela. Adelante! Adiosle-piso
