The use of New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT)

A simple self-appraisal is all it takes to realise this: how do I spend my time in the 24 hours that make up a day? *How much time do I have to rest? *How much time do I spend at work but not working? *How much time do I spend surfing the internet or social networks, reading or sending messages, listening to audio, watching videos or looking at photos? *How much time do I reserve for prayer? *How much time do I spend relaxing other than on NICTs?

What were the first rules of the Society of Missionaries of Africa ?
Annual report to the Cardinal of the Congregation of Propaganda Fide (1st December1869)
In agreement with them we mapped out the first rules of their little society. The main guidelines
are the following:
1. They will form a society of missionaries intended solely for the apostolate among Muslim Arabs of Africa.
2. They will live in community and will always be three together.
3. From seminary, the novitiate, they will adopt the food, language, attire, and sleeping habits of the Arabs.
4. They will learn enough about medicine to treat sick people.
