They need to exercise it and live it for themselves rather than imitating the culture and living style of others. Each African country has its unique tradition and culture that some may not perceive as their riches.

  • FORMATION 154 GO MAKE DISCIPLES | SYDNEY ARCHDIOCESAN MISSION PLAN Foundation 4: Formation
    Foundation 4 FORMATION 154 GO MAKE DISCIPLES | SYDNEY ARCHDIOCESAN MISSION PLAN Foundation 4: Formation Introduction Always be ready to make your defence to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you”. 1 Peter 3:15 In the Scriptures we see in the life of Jesus that the formation of His followers to grow in discipleship and enter into His mission is central. hrough His words and deeds Jesus teaches His disciples how to interpret Scripture (Luke 24:25-27), how to pray T (Matthew 6:5-14) and to be attentive to the interior life (Mark 7:14-23). He also teaches His Apostles vigilance in the spiritual life (Matthew 24:42- 44; Mark 13:33; Luke 12:40), about the moral life (Matthew 5:21-29), the importance of forgiveness (Mark 11:25), and how to respond pastorally in mission (Mark 2:15-17; Matthew 9:10). Our conscious decision to place the Great Commission of Jesus at the centre of our parishes’ identity and action means discerning and enacting new ways to provide Christian formation that will enable our communities and parishioners to grow in Christ as missionary disciples. Formation of our hearts, minds and wills sustains the journey of faith by enabling us to know Christ better and live our discipleship more fully. The process of evangelisation is rarely instantaneous or momentary but more often a gradual and lifelong process of conversion to Jesus Christ as a disciple on mission. To be a disciple is to be a learner who sits at the feet of Jesus, grows in faith and understanding over time, and is sent to witness and convey to others the truth of God’s love in Christ: “[a]lways be ready to make your defence to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15).

  • English Announcement
    Creation of the CLERICAL ASSOCIATION of the Emmanuel Community Press release 30th August 2017 Summary The Congregation for the Clergy erected on 15 August 2017 the Clerical Association of the Emmanuel Community, gathering together the priests and deacons of the Community. This decision of the Holy See thus defnes the canonical identity of the clergy who are members of the Emmanuel Community. It encourages their call to serve the local Churches while also favouring their mobility for the universal mission of the Church. It reinforces the communion of the priests and deacons with their lay brothers and sisters, for the New Evangelisation, according to the Emmanuel Community’s own charism. This new stage is situated in the continuity of the community. Thus, the way of ordinary incardination of the Emmanuel clergy remains in the dioceses, although these new statutes make it possible for their incardination in the new Clerical Association, but the Community will choose this new mode only in exceptional circumstances. The Emmanuel Community welcomes with joy and thanksgiving today the solicitude of the Church in this regard. 1. Further details on this Clerical Association The statutes of the Emmanuel Community situate it as an “International Public Association of the Faithful (composed of lay people and priests)”, overseen by the “Dicastery for the Laity, the Family, and Life”. For some years, on the advice of Cardinal André Vingt-Trois, Archbishop of Paris, and ecclesiastical assistant of the Community, and under the direction of the Congregation for the Clergy, we have worked on drawing up statutes for a clerical association, inseparably linked to the initial association of the faithful, in order to respond to several challenges.

  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
    The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, For many people, the Catholic Church is an overly complex organ- ism. We hope that this slim publication will help readers to form an image of the Church’s organizational structure and the diversi- ty of the community which in two thousand years has grown out of the cluster of Jesus’s disciples. For more than eleven centuries, the Church has been a part of our society. Today, it is a great tree with deep roots, bearing highly diverse fruits in many areas. Pictures, numbers and names, however, fail to capture its life or in- ner mystery. The Church calls itself the mysterious body of Christ, whose soul is the Holy Spirit. It believes that Jesus himself is mys- teriously present amongst those who have an attitude of love, that he himself shapes the lives of people who, in their attitudes and deeds, accept his word and that the Kingdom of God itself grows in the world through people who put Christ in the primary position in their lives. At the same time, all its members are aware of their weakness, wretchedness and sinfulness, but their hope is in the mercy of God. Joy from God is then the main source of testi- mony and service to society and to individuals. My wish for all readers is that in this publication they find the infor- mation they are looking for, and that they themselves experience something of the mystery of the Divine presence in living contact with people of faith or with entire communities in families, par- ishes, religious orders and movements, church schools or chari- ties.
