As we reflect on our unity in Christ and our unity in mission, let us allow ourselves to be guided and inspired by divine grace, so that the fire of our missionary vocation may be renewed within us and we may move forward together in our commitment to evangelization, in \u201ca new missionary era\u201d in the history of the Church.<br \/>\n[\u2026 ] Being a Christian is not primarily about practices or ideas; it is a life in union with Christ, in which we share in his filial relationship with the Father in the Holy Spirit. It means abiding in Christ, like branches on the vine (<em>cf. Jn 15:4<\/em>), immersed in the life of the Trinity. This union gives rise to mutual communion among believers and is the source of all missionary fruitfulness. Indeed, just as Saint John Paul II taught, \u201ccommunion represents both the source and the fruit of mission\u201d.<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-6 col-xl-6 col-xxl-6 order-md-3 right\">\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":33981,"template":"","event_cat":[171],"class_list":["post-59159","liturgical","type-liturgical","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_cat-celebrations"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
