As the Catholic Church prepares to observe World Missionary Day in October, the Holy Father Pope Francis calls on the faithful to be missionaries and help spread the Word of God.
“Let us set out again with burning hearts, with our eyes open and our feet in motion. Let us set out to make other hearts burn with the Word of God, to open the eyes of others to Jesus in the Eucharist, and to invite everyone to walk together on the path of peace and salvation that God, in Christ, has bestowed upon all humanity,” Pope Francis said in his message for the observance.
With burning hearts, the Pontiff encouraged the faithful to be active missionaries and evangelizes and to take inspiration from this year’s theme which he said is inherent in every baptized Christian. “Today, as then, the Risen Lord remains close to his missionary disciples and walks beside them, particularly when they feel disoriented, discouraged, fearful of the mystery of iniquity that surrounds them and seeks to overwhelm them. So, let us not allow ourselves to be robbed of hope! The Lord is greater than all our problems, above all if we encounter them in our mission of proclaiming the Gospel to the world.
