Vatican City (Agenzia Fides) - "The prayer journey of Christ's missionary disciples" is the title of the itinerary of four online meetings in English on prayer, organized and promoted by the Pontifical Missionary Union (PMU) in preparation for the Jubilee 2025. The first meeting will take place next Saturday, September 7, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (CET time) = (11:00 - 12:30 EST time), the same time as all the scheduled meetings.
In the context of the Year of Prayer, PMU offers this proposal for missionary formation, inspired by the invitation of Pope Francis. In his Message for this year's World Mission Day, the Holy Father said: "In this year devoted to prayer in preparation for the Jubilee of 2025, I wish to encourage all to deepen their commitment abo ve all to take part in the celebration of Mass and to pray for the Church’s mission of evangelization. In obedience to the Sa viour’s command, she does not cease to pray, at every Eucha ristic and liturgical celebration, the “Our Father”, with its peti tion, ‘Thy kingdom come’”.
On Saturday, September 7, the theme of the meeting will be "The way of praying of Jesus"; on Tuesday, September 17, it will be the turn of "Our Father – The Missionary Prayer"; on Saturday, September 28, it will be "The prayer of Christ's Missionary disciples"; while Tuesday, October 8, will be dedicated to "Eucharist - Source and summit of mission and prayer."
The initiative will be coordinated by Father Dinh Anh Nhue Nguyen, OFMConv, Secretary General of PMU, who will be assisted by Father Tadeusz J. Nowak, OMI, Secretary General of the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
During the first meeting, Father Nguyen will introduce the topic, followed by Father Nowak's intervention.
