'Formation does not end at a certain moment, but continues throughout life, integrating the person intellectually, humanly, affectively, spiritually.'
Pope Francis’ prayer intention for the month of May is for the formation of men and women religious, and seminarians.
The Holy Father asks us to remember that priests, sisters or nuns, must above all else be men and women willing to lead a life of prayer, dedicated to be witnesses to the Gospel.
“Let us pray that men and women religious, and seminarians, grow in their own vocational journey through human, pastoral, spiritual and community formation, that leads them to be credible witnesses of the Gospel” the pope added.
World Mission Month celebrates a unique global initiative that unites lay and religious missionaries from all corners of the world. The campaign is an invitation to answer the burning passion of our hearts and set ourselves in motion. By listening to our missionary hearts, we are able to share our love of God, and open our hearts to welcome one another, as a global family.
GO AND INVITE EVERYONE TO THE BANQUET
Join us throughout the month of October and on
World Mission Sunday on Sunday 20th, and accept the invitation of Pope Francis so that we can go and invite everyone we find to the banquet. Let us live the Holy Gospel in practice, by giving our support to Missio Scotland.
