Archbishop of Sevilla publishes pastoral letter

Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses published a pastoral letter in the diocesan magazine Iglesia en Sevilla to mark the centenary of DOMUND. Using the theme "One in Christ, United in Mission," the archbishop addressed the Archdiocese of Sevilla regarding the nature of evangelization.

Saiz Meneses stated that mission is not a secondary activity for a privileged few but is part of the identity of the Church and the vocation of every Christian through Baptism. He explained that the unity of disciples is rooted in communion with Christ rather than organizational strategy or pastoral planning.

The archbishop thanked missionaries for their generous service and encouraged the faithful to renew their missionary zeal. He noted that the work of DOMUND has helped the faithful maintain the awareness that the Church is missionary by nature and that all members are responsible for announcing the Gospel.
