Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Youth and Family Missionary, suspended this year's Megamission where more than 20,000 missionaries would attend more than 2,500 communities. Instead of the traditional missions, Youth and Family Missionary launches the program \u201cExtraordinary Missionary\u201d which consists of living these holy days from the homes.<\/p>\n

Today, the Mass for the beginning of the missions was transmitted from the chapel of the territorial directorate of Regnum Christi, presided over by Father Ricardo Sada, L.C., president of the territorial board of directors. The transmission was made through the official accounts of Youth and Missionary Family on Facebook and Youtube, and was followed by more than 20 thousand people.<\/p>\n

During the homily, Father Ricardo mentioned that the missionary work this year is being done in a very special way: \u201cThis year we are doing it the same way, only that we changed some things, but the spirit is exactly the same, with different circumstances, but the apostle is an apostle. The one who wants to transmit Christ does it with coronavirus and without coronavirus\u201d, he mentioned.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the missions are a time to transmit to others \u201cthe hope of Christ and this year we have a fantastic opportunity to do so\u201d and that creativity will be a determining factor this year: \u201cToday we have to respond to these missions from home, through the internet, with prayer and using our imagination, the creativity of the apostle to see what other ways we can come up with\u201d.<\/p>\n

He recalled the Masses of sending and Easter Sunday of other years and invited the missionaries not to be overwhelmed by the difficult moment we are facing: \u201cToday we live in a situation that overwhelms us. And how do we Christians face a situation that overwhelms us? With hope, because we know that in the calm and in the storm, Jesus Christ is there\u201d.<\/p>\n
