(Director, PMS-English Sector)
As I began my appointment here at the Pontifical Mission Societies I was assisted by the focus and generosity that October, the month for World Missions, brings to the universal mission of sharing the Good News. I thank you for your prayers and support.
The month of November, beginning with Solemnity of All Saints followed by All Souls, draws us into contemplation of the goal of the mission. While the dedicated ministry of missionary teams to a certain extent strives to bring the joy, meaning, healing and freedom of Jesus Christ into the present lives of others, eternal life with God is also the purpose of preaching the Good News. As we remember and pray for our deceased family members, friends and benefactors during these weeks, the hope and vision of heaven comes to the fore.
God uses your prayers and generous support to allow His invitation to the eternal banquet to be heard by all the peoples of the world. Through the Pontifical Mission Societies assistance is given to those who announce the invitation and offers the opportunities for it to be heard and accepted.
