Mission Day 18 ictober2020: Pastoral work in Covid-19 pandemic
Sky world news /Each year, World Mission Week is an opportunity to recall the immense needs of churches around the world to carry out their pastoral work.
“In this year, marked by the sufferings and challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, this missionary journey of the whole Church continues in the light of the word that we find in the account of the vocation of the prophet Isaiah: “Here I am: send me! »(Is 6, 8). It is the ever-renewed response to the Lord's question: "Whom shall I send?" ”(Ibid.). This call comes from the heart of God, from his mercy which challenges both the Church and humanity, in the current global crisis. ” (Message from Pope Francis for World Missions Day 2020)
