Nine Days of Prayer and Reflection on Mission
Sixth Day: Mission is … Human Development There is poverty in the world. There are children that nobody will instruct. There are young people who have only a hopeless future. Malaria, alcoholism, measles, diarrhea, malnutrition are terrible realities. And the Glory of God is a person being fully human. Jesus’ mission and our mission is still involved with healing, educating, encouraging, blessing, and comforting. On the streets of Calcutta, India, in barrios of Lima, Peru, or in our US inner-cities, there are still missionaries concerned for the life of homeless, sick, and dying people. Their hunger is not only for bread and rice, but also for the Word that can give meaning to their life. Two good hands and a big heart are the requirements to be involved in this mission. Whatever gifts one has, those gifts are for others. It is in giving that we receive, it is in consoling that we are consoled, it is in feeding others that our hearts are filled with happiness.

Human development is the new name of evangelization (Paul VI)
What are your talents? And
how are you using them for the sake of others?
