Famiglia Comboniana prays for joyful Gospel announcement

The Combonian Family is praying throughout October, the missionary month, for joyful Gospel preaching and for the Church to better support those suffering from mental illness.

The group's prayer intentions ask that all members of the Combonian Family, inspired by Saint Daniele Comboni, announce the Gospel with joy and act as signs of light, hope, and tenderness among the people to whom they are sent. The group also seeks to integrate mental health ministry throughout the Church to help end the stigma and discrimination faced by people with mental illnesses.

The Combonian Family identifies its specific vocation as announcing Christ to the poorest and most abandoned. The group emphasizes that this mission should be carried out with the joy of sharing a discovered treasure rather than the sadness of performing a duty.
