AMERICA/BOLIVIA - “Hand in Hand with Jesus on Mission" Holy (Missionary) Childhood and Adolescence Day

Saturday, 21 April 2007

La Paz (Agenzia Fides) - "Hand in Hand with Jesus on mission" is the slogan of Holy Childhood Day in Bolivia on Sunday 22 April. The theme is in keeping with the path of formation undertaken in the last two years: 2005 "Eucharist, Bread for All" to discover Jesus present in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the source of charity; 2006, in communion with the whole Church in Latin America preparing for CELAM 5, reflection on the reality of being disciples of Jesus, missionaries of his Good News. In line with this formation the aim this year is to help children feel they are sent on mission, hand in hand with Jesus.
Material in view of the Day prepared by the Bolivian Bishops' Commission for Mission and the local Pontifical Mission Societies was distributed to parishes and schools all over the country to support the activity of animators and regional coordinators. The material focused on four themes: Hand in hand with Jesus on mission, to infuse confidence; Let the little children come unto me, to help little missionaries feel the joy of being chosen by Jesus; Called to mission, to urge little missionaries to be ready and generous; You give them to eat, to allow them to live the experience of sharing the bread of mission.
