Swiss Guard

Friday, 16. November 2018

I chose Peru because I have to two friendly that live in this country, an ex- colleague on watch, near the city of the Cusco, member of a contemplative community, and a priest (father I fight Lamb), director of a center for children of the street in Lima. I am of French language-mother, in the school I learned German, during my permanence in Rome I studied the Italian and later I was in Ireland following an intensive course of English. Peruvian treasures – What is what you liked more of Peru? As I like much history and the traditions of a town, I have found many pretty and interesting things in Peru. I believe that a new visit will be necessary to know the treasures the culture Inca and the rich Peruvian kitchen better that esteem and that I knew much in Peru. – Finalized your mission like Swiss Guard, to what you are dedicating yourself? I am in a period of rest and tranquillity. I am being accustomed again to the civil life.

In the future next, my challenge and hope would be to work in the humanitarian scope. – You would like to be priest? It does not have to confuse the service in the Switzerland Guard and the seminary. Our service is of military court, not a priesthood. I have, in any case, that to mention that some guards, after their period on watch in Rome, have embraced religious life. – Which has been your happier moment like Swiss Guard? They have been two. The first year on watch, when in occasion of the ceremony of the oath, the 6 of May of 1993, I presented/displayed to my parents to the Pope Juan Pablo II. The second was 9 of November of 2005, when I could personally give to Pope Benedicto XVI the first copy of my book on the history of the Guard, concluding seven years of investigation.
