When Peter was running away from Persecution The Lord asked him "Where are going"..
Perhaps today The Lord is asking the Church and each of us "Where are you going...." 2000 years ago Jesus depended upon only 12 uneducated simple jewish men to spread his message throughout the world. Today in the Catholic Church we have so many lakhs of Priests and religious. But how far the mission work is going on. Church is primarily missionary by nature says The dogmatic constitution of the Church lumen Gentium. If Mission is the primary concern of the Church then what are we busy with in institutions, administration and social work.....
It is primarily a challenge to me personally and to every priest in the Catholic Church, how less is being done in sharing the Word to our brethren of other faith... as the Holy Father rightly pointed towards using the digital means in mission work, let us flood the media with this great message of salvation which Christ gives lavishly. so much of evil is online every second why not the Good news of the Lord.
The social networking is so often misused for wrong things, why not use it as means to share our faith experience. Therefore, dear fellow Christians venture in this modern means of communication, let not a day pass without sharing your faith with our friends around. St. Therese of Child Jesus, The patroness of mission pray for the enlightenment of our Christian folk to be zealous in sharing the Good news of Christ
