“Today the missionary always finds himself in a historical “watershed”, in a very uncomfortable position and very complex times that are difficult to interpret, but they are also a kairos that is charged with hope” (XVGC 45).
"We are going through a process of rapid change and transformation at all levels. We are being invited to do our part as a missionary Church. It is in this atmosphere of search and hope that we are motivated to live the present time, trusting solely in the Spirit of the Lord. Our missionary identity makes the difference! We must light the fire and kindle a new zeal, the power that makes us reach out to the world! We must abandon our own comfort zone, and attachment to things, and believe that we have a great deal to offer, by investing our energies to promote another world that is possible"(3rd National Missionary Meeting – Palmas, TO, 12-15 July 2012).
