On the other hand, a second training, more basic than the previous one, that can be offered to confirmation groups, adult groups and communities. Where from the letter Maximum Illud, together with the convocation of the Pope and under the inspiration that Comboni offers us through his life and his writings, the theme develops. We believe that it is a good material for these groups that can be seeking training for this month (which is one of the principles of this month). With it, we give a service to the Church and make our founder known.

We leave it in PDF to share it. We hope you find them useful and an inspiration. They are also preparing some videos and prayers for this month that will be published on their or our international blog. We leave it in Spanish and English (you can improve it for sure), you can also translate into your language if you find them interesting.

Extraordinary Mission Month

On the occasion of the centenary of the Missionary Apostolic Letter Maximum Illud munus, Pope Francis has called for extraordinary mission month to be held in October 2019 “in order to awaken always more the awareness of our mission ad gentes and rekindle with a new impulse the transformation of our life and of our pastoral work.”

The pope invites us to live intensely this missionary month through a Personal encounter with Jesus, our Witness, Formation and missionary Charity, as a challenge for our Christian communities.

“Baptized and Sent. The Church of Christ in mission to the world” is the theme the Pope has chosen for this month. In its 10 points it develops very well the missionary implications of our Baptism, encouraging a new missionary awakening, which necessary in the entire Church, in order to offer the message of Christ to today’s world.

May the celebration of this Missionary Month help us to see ourselves as missionary disciples because mission is “innate” to us and our responsibility, so that we may be a Church on the move.
