“A precious treasure is to be found in the soul of Africa where I perceive a ‘spiritual lung for a humanity that appears to be in a crisis of faith and hope”,………………
With these words of Pope Benedict the XVI in mind, I would like to make a very special invitation to all my african brothers and sisters in Christ (and indeed to all in different continents) to read the new Post - Synodal Apostolic Exhortation: Africae Munus (Africa’s commitment). The Pope exhorts us all at the very beginning of the document (no.1) to commit ourselves to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Pope highlights the fact that, it is “through this mission, that Africa is led to explore its Christian vocation more deeply”. He further says that; “it is called in the name of Jesus, to live reconciliation between individuals and communities and to promote peace and justice in truth for all”.
This is only a highlight to the document. Go and deepen your knowledge on the document in order to make it part of you and put all the principles into practice. Surely, for the betterment of the situation in African continent and the whole world. The document is very rich theologically, ecclesiologically, pastorally and spiritually.
“Alzati Africa e mettiti in cammino”
