Reflection 235   Based on the Vatican II document 
On the Mission Activity of the Church
Ad Gentes  - 16

(Comments welcome here)


One point from this article: seminary training in mission countries should prepare future priests to base their lives on the Gospel...and not on their own comfort or that of their family

These words apply to all priests in all parts of the world, not just in mission countries

A disturbing trend in some parts of the world:  some priests are less and less available for work in their parish ....but readily available for work outside their parish.... to get money for themselves/their families

Jesus, please help all priests follow your example of service
