World Mission Day Message

World MissionDay

Excerpt from the Message

from Pope FrancisWorld Mission Day is celebratedevery year in every countrywherever there are Catholicscommitted to building a better world forall of Gods people, a world where every-one has all they need to live a dignifiedand fulfilling life. On this day, we reflecton the urgency to proclaim the Gospel inour times. This year World Mission Day[was] Sunday October 19, 2014.

Dear Brothers and Sisters

...All the members of the Church arecalled to participate in this mission, for

the Church is missionary by her very nature:she was born to go forth. World Mission

Day is a privileged moment when the faithful of various continents engage in prayerand concrete gestures of solidarity in support of the young Churches in mission lands.It is a celebration of grace and joy. A celebration of grace, because the Holy Spirit,sent by the Father, offers wisdom and strength to those who are obedient to hisaction. A celebration of joy, because Jesus Christ, the Fathers Son, sent to evange-lize the world, supports and accompanies our missionary efforts...

...On this World Mission Day my thoughts turn to all the local Churches. Let us not be

robbed of the joy of evangelization! I invite you to immerse yourself in the joy of theGospel and nurture a love that can light up your vocation and your mission. I urgeeach of you to recall, as if you were making an interior pilgrimage, that first lovewith which the Lord Jesus Christ warmed your heart, not for the sake of nostalgiabut in order to persevere in joy. The Lords disciples persevere in joy when theysense his presence, do his will and share with others their faith, hope, and evangeli-cal charity. Let us pray through the intercession of Mary, the model of humble andjoyful evangelization, that the Church may become a welcoming home, a mother forall peoples and the source of rebirth for our world

Ebola Emergency in Sierra Leone

Makeni and Port Loko are two districts in Sierra Leone hardest hit by the rapidly advancing Ebola virus. The small

hospital of Yele in the Diocese of Makeni was quarantined because some people died of Ebola. The two doctorsdirecting the hospital, members of a Dutch NGO, returned to their country.

The virus spreads because many people dont believe it is a medical issueand continue to think it is a matter of witchcraft. For example a sickman was brought to a clinic where the nurse determined that he hadcontracted Ebola. She alerted his family, and called the authorities.When the ambulance came to pick up the sick, almost all of the peoplehad fled into the forest and had carried the man with them. Think of allwho potentially will be affected by this action?

The situation may seem to be out of control. However there are effortsat the national level to limit travel to riskier areas and train personnel totrack possible cases of infection and keep them under observation. Butthe situation caused by the epidemic remains very critical. Anxiety andtension are everywhere. More concrete help is needed, especially forfamilies in quarantine. Churches are collecting cash for food, which isdistributed to families in need.

Throughout the country there are only three laboratories specialized inEbola. A blood sample taken in Makeni must be sent 120 miles toFreetown and takes at least three days to get the results. It would bevery useful to have a laboratory to test for Ebola in Makeni.

What stresses us most as missionaries is the realization that we can dolittle to defeat the virus. But we can combat it. We are working with theauthorities and other organizations in the fight against the virus and inthe support of people stricken, or who are at risk of contagion. Theseare the actions that we have undertaken:

Prepare people to go into the villages to raise awareness of people to prevent infection; Provide disinfectants. Provide appropriate clothing to protect staff and provide medicines to the sick in hospitals. Bring food to quarantined families and Help families who have lost loved ones due to the Ebola virus.

We are grateful to the Xaverian Leadership for having sent funds to provide for necessities, but wewant to make an appeal to all to help in this desperate attempt to stop the deadly virus. We ask everyone to rememberin their prayers to the Divine Physician in this perilous time, our people, missionaries and medical personnel. Thank you.

Xaverian Missionaries in the World

Weseek to providecomfort; andencourage all of usto unite the pain caused by the mur-der of Olga, Bernadetta and Lucywith the pain of all those who sufferviolence throughout the world, oftenanonymously and forgotten yet incommunion with the Lord Jesus.

So many memories crowd our minds.We thank the Lord for giving us thesesisters. We have enjoyed their frater-nity and friendship; and have wit-

nessed their passion for Jesus andthe Gospel to the poor. All three,despite advanced age and frail health,had ardently desired to return toAfrica.

Olga preserved a great apostolic zeal.She loved to meet people on thestreet, visiting families and elderlypeople who were unable to travel tothe parish to receive the sacraments.

Lucia discovered that what matteredmost was her life given with joy tothe Lord for the mission, charity andprayer. She was committed to servingthe community, welcoming people,caring for the poor and sick and par-ticipating in parish ministries.

Bernadetta had the gift of bringing allpeople together with simplicity andtenderness. Her smile greeted all whoapproached her. For years she wasthe superior and participated in thelife of the Christian community,

accompanying young people in theParish School, always attentive to theneeds of the poorest.

Beautiful testimony was given by theXaverian priests of Kamenge, whereour sisters collaborated: Its threesisters, said Fr. Claudio Marano in aninterview to Vatican Radio, who havelived and given their lives for AfricaFr. Mario Pulcini stated: Sister Lucycared for thousands of patients; did

an amazingjob for the

parish, forthe Church,and was verywell support-ed by thepeople. SisterOlga hadworked manyyears inCongo in cat-echesis, inpastoral workof teaching

and had a great feel-ing for the sick. SisterBernadetta, who wassuperior for severalyears, and in the gen-eral direction, devot-ed herself especiallyto the sewing schoolfor girls. This is agreat loss for us, forthe Church in Burundi,

the DRC and Africa.Now the bodies of our sisters rest inBukavu alongside other missionaries inthe land which they loved and wherethey lived most of their years.Through their deaths our sisters areforcefully proclaiming to the wholeworld the beauty and boldness of lovethat surpasses all boundaries. Theyfeel young and alive more than ever,even though we lack their physicalpresence.

The sacrifice of our sisters has painful-

ly shocked us and made us experienceonce again our littleness. We have theability and grace to believe that whenthe grain of wheat falls to the ground,it dies and then bears much fruit. Wecan witness to people that the HolySpirit has planted in our hearts hopeand forgiveness.

Olga, Bernadetta and Lucy have par-ticipated in the passion of the LordJesus. They are for us missionaries liv-ing icons that put their trust in theLord in a constant effort to get out ofthemselves to accept and go towardthe other, abundant with spirit andgood heart.

Pope Francis was struck by the tragicdeath of our sisters and expressedthe hope that the blood shedbecomes the seed of hope for buildingan authentic fraternity among peo-ples.

In communion among us, with Fr.James Spagnolo SX and MotherCelestina Bottega, with all the sisters

who have preceded us in heaven, wecontinue the journey with faith in himwho has loved us first and who gavehis life for us. Mary, mother of hopeaccompany us. We continue to feelunited in affection and prayer.

Diversity not as a threat, but asgift to be received with

gratitudeTHE 26TH ANNUAL NAIN CONNECT CONFERENCE

The Inter-Faith LeadershipCouncil of Metropolitan Detroithosted the 26th North AmericanInterfaith Network (NAIN) ConnectConference, Bridging Borders andBoundaries, on the Wayne StateUniversity campus this past summer.Participants listed 46 differentreligious affiliations, representingan impressive cross-section of NorthAmericas religious thought and

spiritual identity. I had the privilegeof attending it asthe representativeof the XaverianMissionaries, andit was quite amemorable experience.There were two mornings of interac-tive workshops which included topicssuch as: Exploring values that bridgeboundaries; Spirituality and medita-tion; Welcoming the stranger.

In the afternoon we had site visits

showcasing the city of Detroit and itsrich tapestry of faith communities.It was good to see how our sharedvalues, and interesting differences,can become means to build vibrantcommunities where people of differ-ent religions and creeds can live infriendship, side by side.

Focusing in particular on the area ofeducation, Prof. Robert Bruttell, ofReligious Studies at the University ofDetroit Mercy and Chair of InterfaithLeadership of Metropolitan Detroit,

noticed how very few people knowmuch about other peoples religions,and more lamentable, how mostpeople in the United States know solittle about their own religious tradi-tions. This religious illiteracy, as hecalls this phenomenon, is making itdifficult for us to live together.

The Conference looked like more ofa reunion of old friends than of aformal Symposium. A bit nervous and

hesitant at the beginning, being newto the group, I become more confidentand at ease as we were progressing,and found myself among friends and athome at the end.

Thumbing through the booklet and thevarious messages of welcome and theconference sponsors, I noticed that,seemingly, leaders of the great histori-cal religions were missing at the Confer-ence. It was regrettable since events

of this kind are a golden opportunityto gain betterknowledge andunderstandingof each other.The patient

weaving of connections that made theConference possible was done at grassroot level, by the so -called laity. Itturned out to be a blessing in disguisesince the discussions became moreinformal and cordial.

In the course of the conversations

there were no attempts at proselyting,only the witness to the personal faith-beliefs and the desire to clarify anddispel possible misrepresentations andprejudices.

Talks over a cup of coffee during breaksbecame a precious way of collectinginformation and beginning new friend-ships.

There were moments of silent prayer.In the deep silence which enveloped us,we came to realize how silent-prayercan help people to connect at a very

deep level, deeper than any verbaldiscussion. This powerful experiencemade me wish that, alongside with thetime dedicated to sharing and bond-ing, equal amount of time should begiven to listening and silence.Failure to listen leads to judgment,prejudice and fear. Also the reality,God/Divine, we try to describe, defieswords.

We are aware how between Creator

and creature no similitude can be

expressed without implying an evengreater dissimilitude (Catechism ofthe Catholic Church); and concerningGod, we cannot grasp what he/she is,but rather only what he/she is not.Believers can only point at, not de-scribe, this reality. The best way tohonor it is silence; at this stage it isno longer a silence of ignorance, buta silence of fullness. It is like want-ing to describe the fragrance of arose, in the words of late Fr. AnthonyDe Mello. It is simply impossible.

The various speakers also tried todispel prejudices emphasizing whatunites us as far more than that whichcould divide us, recommitting them-selves to the pursuit of peace. Withso much violence in our currentheadlines, it is important that peopleof all faith orientations support peaceand justice. It is necessary that allfactions in the bloody conflicts acrossour globe should be urged by believ-ers to work out peaceable and justsolutions.

At the end of the Conference we real-ized how two full days are too shorta time to tackle problems of thiscaliber, nevertheless we had takenone more baby step in the journeytowards that peace which is the aimof all religions.

The journey ahead of us is long andit can be covered only one step at atime.

Fr. Michael Davitti SX

...the reality, God/Divine, wetry to describe, defies words.

LifeConsecratedto Mission

I want to say one word to you and this word is joy.

Wherever consecrated people are, there is always joy!.

~Pope Francis

Pope Francisis dedicating 2015 as the Year for ConsecratedLife, emphasizing the gift of religious life in the Churchtoday. Histor ically, since the 300s AD, religious life hascontinually grown and developed in response to crisis of

the day and each religious congregation or order offers a specificcharism or purpose which is meant to answer the deepest needs ofhumanity.

For us Xaverian Missionaries, our religious life and lifelongdedication to the global mission of the Church are inextricablyintertwined. The Gospel we share against the backdrop of theKingdom of God is the Good News embodied in Jesus Christ;the most fitting and radical proposal in the search for solutionsto the most serious problems afflicting humanity. We havebeen called and gathered into community to give ourselvestotally to share the compassion and mercy of Christ across

cultural and faith boundaries.Opening new vistas for new Christian communities in placeswhere they never existed before, assisting young, strugglingdioceses in Latin America, Africa, and Asia are key to ourconsecration and our commitment to the Churchs mission. Inparticular today, in view of the enormous pluralism of faithsworldwide, we also seek ways to connect the Catholic Churchwith those of other faiths, or no faith at all, in meaningfulengagement, interfaith and intercultural dialogue. We strive topromote the common values of the Kingdom through a fraternaland qualified dialogue of faith and life.

Christmas Reflection

...By The Cry of a Child...

T

onight therell be rejoicing in

the village,

the one time in the year

when Holy Mass will becelebrated there.

But . . . its getting late,

and our guide has delayed

much beyond the time we agreed on . . .

I know the way to the village.

Ive come by here before.

So reassuringly spoken,

my words do hide, though, a reticent

doubt.

We leave the jeep in a clearing of the

forest,

Sister and I, and set out on the path

that opens before us.

Its wide and inviting,

and it does look familiar . . .

We are soon drenched in sweat.

The tree-cover that protects us

from the noonday sun

also encloses us in the heavy humid

heat of the Amazon forest.

The afternoon moves forward,

and the path wanders and meanders

and it thins out

as it continues to diverge in sundry

branches

like the vein that distributes itself

into new and ever thinner capillaries . . .

Familiar signs are gone.

My assurance wanes into mounting fear;

worry comes to the fore,

no longer hiding its chiding faces.

- . . . We are lost! . . .

The sun will soon set.

(In the equator, six oclock is its bed

time) .

We have already turned around

to retrace our steps . . . , we think!.

But by now every path looks the same,

no longer obvious,

and nothing marks our passage.

We have seen no hut,

and sense no sign of human presence.

Night in the Amazon forest

can be frightening

to those who are strangers to it.

In the growing darkness

every little movement startles,

and not even the croaking cacophony

of the myriads of frogs

eases the overpowering silence.

The mere thought of passing the night

balancing on hammocks strunghigh up between two trees

crushes our last ounce of courage.

Up there,

safe from the ground-stalking animals,

wed be open and juicy targets

for the fierce mosquitoes, numberless,

to gorge themselves

on our enticing flesh and blood.

. . . Sister weeps, silently! . . .

But, lo! . . . a childs cry, distant;

In the forest sound travels far . .We strain to heart it at first

as our hearts skip a beat and

grabs at the welcome cry

with hope uplifted.

We follow its direction,

our way more laborious for the hurry

and the darkness.

Low-lying branches and thorny bushes

brush us, to caress and to wound;

fallen trees become stumbling blocks,

bridges over muddy trails,

and support lest we slip in the swampy

bogs.

Our hearts sink when the child stops

crying,

and pray that, this night,

only this night,

his sleep be restless . . .,for our sake!

And it is . . .

(Oh, bless you, little child,

dream of dragons tonight and cry,throw us that lasso on which

to hang our slipping hopes

pull in our faltering steps! . . .)

The night is no longer young

when, led by the childs cries,

we reach his fathers hut. At last! . . .

Astounded as the man is

at seeing us at this hour

and in a sorry state,

he cant stop embracing usovercome with care,

as only a prodigals father can be.

We too cry tears of joy, Father and

Sister,

shepherds lost, in search

of the sheep entrusted to our care.

We are home,

Here in the hut of Maria and Jose,

led by the cry of their child.

(Oh, dream now of mothers breast,

blessed little savior.What would your name be?) . . .

Brothers and sisters,

In all that takes your time and

attention,

that tarries you and frightens you,

in the doubts and the darkness

that may overwhelm you,

and in the joys that uplift your spirits

may you hear, deep and sure in your

hearts,

the Cry of the Child, the Savior,

who comes to lead you and me,

lost sheep and shepherds,

to Our Fathers Home.
