A True Story About Mirigede Station

And

My struggle…

This is my story…My true story…

This is a history about Mirigede station and My struggle. In the past…..

In the beginning there was guidance and counseling from Father Logano. At 1968 years Father Logano was came to Mirigede Village with a Koramil of Wates Mr. Depris in connection in Mirigede Village not yot existence Roman Catholic religion. So Father Logano was organized counseling or cure how if in Mirigede Village scattered Roman Catholic religion and then society was agree with it.

And furthermore it was experience good enough developments enter in Roman Catholic religion unequally voluntary (stedy). For guidance and counseling example there was lesson every sunday was leaded by Mr. Cipto from Donomulyo village and was cleared by Mr. Musiran a village headman of Mirigede village and Mr. Yusuf Cokrorejo. Father Logano was became a teacher for them.

In the beginning some place were used in Mr. Musiran’s, Mr. Yusuf Cokrorejo’s, Mr. Cipto (the member of a religious community from Donomulyo village), and Mr. Markus Musiran (in village meeting hall Dukuh Mirigede village) houses. The church building was build with effort from member of church in that and aid from Father.

And the amount of members of a religious community at that time more.

At this time there are some problems in Mirigede Station meanly :

1. The numbers of religious community there are only 22 family headman. And they are majority was old.

2. The number who want to follow a religious service only some people.

3. A religious community in Mirigede Station very dependent a ‘Plater’. Like me ^.^ he…he…he…

4. In Mirigede Station there are no BIAK, REKAT, and some MUDIKA.

5. About Liturgy, generally still any faults, for example Liturgical movement and still many more.

Me…who am I ?…

A man who try to kill the God ?….

An eagle which fly higher than every angel ever did ?….

The light of a candle which destroy the darkness of the world ?….

My name is Kristoforus Sri Ratulayn Kino Nara as a student forth class in Seminary Garum who was studied in Mirigede Station with My Savior Jesus Christ will trying to contribution my opus meanly with try to improve the problem about the numbers who want to follow religious service very little. I am watched actually the numbers of religious community are not lazy to follow religious service only their spirits to follow religious service cannot realization, because there are not who lead religious service. Station headman of Mirigede who must lead religious service but he instead never be present to follow religious service. So, you can reflect, a station headman so lazy even less did his members of religious community.

And then it make their spirits to follow religious service more days more down. Up to now, November, I am just one time lead religious service in Mirigede Station, because sometimes the members of religious community who were came only four or three persons. So, nothing religious service but was changed with spontaneous pray, me who was leaded it.

Efforts which were me did to contend this problem with :

1. I was visitation at the members of religious community’s house who rarely comes religious service. I think with it the members of religious community who rarely comes religious service that will be shy and then want to follow religious service. I am sure if one day they will be aware or this problem, because with Christ I was started.

2. I was give some awareness for their by my sermon at the religious service and when visitation.

I feel sad if at time of religious service. I am was waited in the church but nobody which comes to follow religious service. They more emphasize their works for long day and then cannot to follow religious service because tired.

Magnus opus must happened. Struggle and after pouring out much sweat, tears, and bloods must straight has happened in order that everyone can feel the love of Jesus Christ. And in order that me more and more deep know my self and what which there are in around me which while wait me.

I will straight fight…fight….and fight with Christ… because this is my way…

For all which not mentionable….Thanks Jesus…^.^
