Vatican
City, 18 October 2013 (VIS) – Pope Francis has sent a video message
to participants in the first Philippine Conference on the New
Evangelisation which closes today at the Santo Tomas University in
Manila. Delegates from throughout the nation and from various parts
of Asia took part in the conference.
“The
first Philippine Conference on the New Evangelisation is a worthy
offering to the Year of Faith”, said the Holy Father. “I am happy
to learn that you came to Manila from different parts of the
Philippines and Asia. The Holy Spirit is actively at work in you. The
Church of Christ is alive!
“Through
this conference, I hope you would experience again the loving
presence of Jesus in your lives, that you would love the Church more
and that you would share the Gospel to all people with humility and
joy. Don’t get tired of bringing the mercy of the Father to the
poor, the sick, the abandoned, the young people and families. Let
Jesus be known in the world of politics, business, arts, science,
technology and social media. Let the Holy Spirit renew creation and
bring forth justice and peace in the Philippines and in the great
continent of Asia that is close to my heart.
“Please
pray for me, I need it. I promise to pray for you, especially to Our
Mother the Blessed Virgin Mary, Star of the New Evangelisation”.
