Series: Mission in Asia

WM Special

The Religious in Asia

Quite independent of the theological discussion about the uniqueness of Christ, it is precisely His ‘uniqueness’ that draws people to the faith. He remains a compelling figure in all human history. His Words hold you by their power, and stun you into a new realization of reality. We should never be hesitant to present the Person of Christ to people. It is He who gives meaning to everything Christian.

Presenting Christ

A definitive choice of Christ is always a wonder. It is nothing short of a miracle. How it happens, no one can tell. But it happens. It happens through you and me. It happens in spite of me… and yet, it happens through me, too. I have an irreplaceable role in this divine economy. If I fail, that God-given role will not be fulfilled.

Frontline

A Home for the Handicapped

Handicapped children didn’t “exist” in China up to recently. Orphanages were forbidden. But some Sisters defied the official policy and the stern authorities and made the most excluded of the children, the handicapped, part of their family. They call it the Liming Family, which means, dawn and giving hope.

Missionary Vocation

Lifeblood of Africa

“Lifeblood of Africa”: This is how the Italian missionary was called at one time by the Ugandans. Tiny in body and with a delicate health, he spent 43 years in Africa. In his dedication to the laity and as Secretary General of the Episcopal Conference, Fr. Tarcisio Agostoni advised, trained, assisted actual and future leaders of Uganda. His contribution to nation-building was essential. His efforts contributed so much to the achievement of the Ugandan Independence not by the barrel of the gun but peacefully. He was General Superior of the Comboni Missionaries during ten crucial post-conciliar years. In the last part of his long life, Fr. Agostoni is remembered for his compassion for the sick, the prisoners, and the abandoned.
