“Mission Ad Gentes?”

Bilang isang misyonerong Comboni, napakahalaga sa akin ang missionary mandate ni Hesus na matatagpuan sa mga ebanghelyo, “Pumunta kayo sa buong daigdig at ipahayag ang ebanghelyo sa buong sangkinapal.” Mission Ad Gentes – misyon sa mga tao – ang mga Comboni Missionaries ay hinuhubog upang ipahayag ang Mabuting Balita sa mga bansa. Sila ay dapat maging handa na lumabas sa kanilang sariling bayan at ipakilala si Hesukristo sa mga lupain na hindi pa nagpapasakop sa ating Panginoon.

A Different Kind Of Love Story

Every love story is beautiful, but my love story with Jesus is my favorite. It began in a devout family, grew during my student years, and flourished through my missionary work in Africa, shaping my faith and resilience.

The Comboni Missionaries In Africa

From St. Daniel Comboni himself to the present time, hundreds of his missionaries have given their life for Africa. It is a story of success. It is now Africa that gives back its contribution to the Church and to the Comboni Missionaries.

Sanctity Versus Divorce

The “Absolute Divorce Act,” also known as House Bill (HB) 9349, was recently passed by the House of Representatives in the Philippines. The aim of this bill is to legalize absolute divorce for couples facing difficult situations in their marriage. If this bill becomes law, divorce will be legal in the Philippines. Bishop Alberto Uy of the Diocese of Tagbilaran has responded to the passing of this bill, stating that divorce destroys the sanctity of marriage as a sacred covenant.

Intro

Mission And The Holy Spirit

The coming of the Holy Spirit upon Mary, Mother of Jesus, and upon the disciples of our Lord marked the birth of the Missionary Church. Something extraordinarily beautiful and important happened: Mary became Queen of the universe; Peter, from being timid and weak, became a courageous witness of the Risen Lord, and all those who were baptized became living stones of the Church. Calling to mind this great event leads us into prayer:

Comboni Missionaries in Europe

Europe was the first continent to be evangelized. After the apostolic time, that was the work of the Benedictine monks like St. Patrick for Ireland, St. Boniface for Germany, the Saints Cyril and Methodius for the peoples of the East of Europe and of Russia.
