Reflection 253                      Previous reflections                   Resolution                The 16 Documents of Vatican II 

Based on the Vatican 2 document:
On the Mission Activity of the Church
Ad Gentes  - 39

This article encourages every priest to have a missionary spirit,
eager to help other people to know the Gospel

Priests' sermons and indeed all activities should have a missionary element

Priests should try to raise money for the missions:
"let them not be ashamed to ask alms of them for this purpose,
becoming like beggars for Christ and for the salvation of souls"

Seminary courses should have a missionary theme

Jesus, please help all priests be beggars!
