“Go into the world and announce the Good News.” (Mk 16:15)
The word that Jesus gave to his first disciples, continues to resound in our hearts today. This mandate pushes us to live a broad missionary dimension, turned toward the whole world, but at the same time giving particular attention to each person we meet.
Our duty to evangelize is a treasure from the witness and teaching of Father Luigi Faccenda, our founder. His gaze of faith and attention to each person, inspired by Saint Maximilian Kolbe, continues to be an important concern for all of us. Our marian-missionary charism carries us towards others into diverse environments, aware that we announce and at the same time receive the Lord. Our charism is actualized in various ways, according to where we are inserted.
We put ourselves at the service of the local and universal Church. As missionaries, we are available to cross the borders of our countries to go wherever the Lord sends us through obedience, aware that every particular person, place, and culture has their beauty and richness.
What I felt from this journey was a threefold lesson. First, it was a reminder that in spite of human capacity to gravitate towards such evil, God made everything good. Second, it was a reminder to see the presence of God in others in even the most difficult times. Third, it was a call to consider more deeply... radical love for others and to avoid indifference.
Join other adults for a weekend of prayer, silence, reflections and more, in a beautiful environment.
