VATICAN CITY, OCT 8, 1999 (VIS) - Made public today was a letter from the Pope to Archbishop Estanislao Karlic of Parana, Argentina, who presided over the Sixth Latin American Missionary Congress and the First American Missionary Congress, held in that city from September 28 to October 3.
In the letter, dated August 15, Solemnity of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the Holy Father writes that "the Church is well aware that the missionary dimension inherent in all Christian communities comes, above all, from faith in Christ, whose newness and richness many not be kept hidden or monopolized."
"The call to evangelize necessarily includes an invitation to the strengthening of faith and the conversion of heart, in harmony with the Great Jubilee which the whole Church is preparing to live with intensity."
