Pope remembers world’s missionaries

November 04, 2013 - Pope Francis on Monday gratefully remembered all missionaries around the world who work silently. “I thank all missionaries, men and women who quietly work hard for the Lord and their brothers and sisters,” the Pope tweeted on his Twitter handle @pontifex. The Pope’s message on the social media is a follow up of his missionary prayer intention for the month of November which is for the Latin American Churches, that they may send missionaries to other Churches as a fruit of the continental mission. Also on Monday, the Vatican Secretariat of State posted a separate tweet calling for the promotion of inclusion in the fight against hunger in the world. “Hunger, like all forms of poverty, is caused by exclusion. Promoting inclusion helps eliminate hunger,” was the tweet taken from a recent speech made by Indian Archbishop Francis Chullikatt, the Holy See’s Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer to the United Nations in New York.
