Day of Prayer for the Church in China: May 24, 2023
Tuesday, May 23, 2023
May 24 is the Day of Prayer for the Church in China. The Fen Xiang Team and Fr. Paolo Consonni, Comboni missionary, have prepared a meditated Rosary for the occasion in English, Italian, Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish. May God bless the Church in China! [See attachment].
We pray for the special intention
of the Holy Father Pope Francis
“Dear brothers and sisters of the universal Church, all of us are called to recognize as one of the signs of our times everything that is happening today in the life of the Church in China. We have an important duty: to accompany our brothers and sisters in China with fervent prayer and fraternal friendship. Indeed, they need to feel that in the journey that now lies ahead, they are not alone. They need to be accepted and supported as a vital part of the Church. “How good and pleasant it is, when brothers dwell together in unity!” (Ps 133:1). Each local Catholic community in every part of the world should make an effort to appreciate and integrate the spiritual and cultural treasures proper to Chinese Catholics. The time has come to taste together the genuine fruits of the Gospel sown in the ancient “Middle Kingdom” and to raise to the Lord Jesus Christ a hymn of faith and thanksgiving, enriched by authentically Chinese notes”. (Pope Francis)
