We are Missionaries

Dear sisters and brothers in Jesus Christ, 
let me  greet you a bit differently.
I greet  you as missionaries in Jesus Christ.
The reason is as follows:

In this year there have been many natural disasters in various countries: Earthquakes in Haiti, floods in Pakistan, etc.
We have not forgotten the great devastating tsunami.
Whenever a great catastrophe happened in the world, many people help with donations of money, food, clothes ... ....
And the church plays a special role.
It is always in the front row when it is necessary to help the victims.
We, as the "body of Christ", were called by the bishops,
to help with Naturkatstrophen with our donation.
Whenever the church calls its members to donate and share,it  
reminds us of the Order of Jesus and his "Divine Mission".
Today when we celebrate World Mission Sunday and give our donation to the mission, we are indirectly missionaries.
I therefore welcomed you as missionaries in Jesus Christ.

The church follows the  missions of Jesus. 
Through  parables he told the people about the message of the Kingdom of God and  showed through his life  the role model of a missionary.
The parable of the Good Samaritan is an example. Go and do likewise - says Jesus.
"Go and do  likewise," Jesus says to us too.

This  biblical word is the title of this year's World Mission Sunday.
World Mission Sunday invites us to ponder the importance of world mission and how we can make our contribution through prayer and donations.
