The Pope’s Intentions for October
Universal: Journalists That journalists, in carrying out their work, may always be motivated by respect for truth and a strong sense of ethics.
Evangelisation: World Mission Day That World Mission Day may renew within all Christian communities the joy of the Gospel and the responsibility to announce it.
Sharing Good News
Go out to the whole world; Proclaim the Good News. (Mark 16:15)
The month of October is a very appropriate time to reflect on the duty we have as Christians to proclaim and share the Good News of the Gospel.
Five years ago the new National Directory for Catechesis in Ireland was launched. It is called Share the Good News (SGN). Since then many initiatives have begun in various parts of the country.
The new programme for religious education in Primary Schools called Grow in Love will soon be familiar to parents who have children in Primary School as they are asked to be involved in what their children are learning about the faith.
We all need faith development or ‘evangelisation’. Faith development is a life long process in which we deepen our appreciation of God’s wonderful love for us in Jesus Christ. Jesus “calls us to live our lives inspired by his life, his truth, his way. We are never alone. Jesus brings us beyond ourselves into a whole new world of loving relationship with God, with our neighbour, with our community, with society and with all of creation (SGN,8).
