YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA living Church is a Church in movement. And ecclesial movements, as Pope Francis says in this month’s video produced by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, “are a gift, they are a treasure in the Church.”
Just as the apostles received the gift of proclaiming the Resurrection in different languages on Pentecost two thousand years ago, so today, ecclesial movements and groups speak “different languages,” the Pope explains. And “each day,” through their creativity, “they rediscover in their charism new ways of showing the attractiveness and the newness of the Gospel.”
The Church needs them, Pope Francis adds, urging them to work “at the service of the Bishops and parishes to avoid any temptation to close in on themselves.” And he prays that they “may daily rediscover their mission, an evangelizing mission,” placing “their own charisms at the service of the world’s needs.”
"Ecclesial movements are a gift, they are a treasure in the Church! That’s what you are!
These movements renew the Church with their capacity for dialogue at the service of her evangelizing mission.
Each day, they rediscover in their charism new ways of showing the attractiveness and the newness of the Gospel.
How do they do this? Speaking different languages, they seem different, but it is their creativity that creates these differences. But always understanding themselves and making themselves understood.
And working at the service of the Bishops and parishes to avoid any temptation to close in on themselves, which can be the danger, right?
Always be on the move, responding to the impulse of the Holy Spirit to the challenges, to the changes in today’s world.
Remain in harmony with the Church, since harmony is a gift of the Holy Spirit.
Let us pray that ecclesial movements and groups may daily rediscover their mission, an evangelizing mission, and that they place their own charisms at the service of the world’s needs. Service…"
