The seventh edition of the ‘Asian Mission’ initiative, which this year had as its motto “prepared for the mission; prepared for peace” was comemorated last February. This Catholic event brought together 50 participants, including eight young people from Japan, five from South Korea (more specifically from the diocese of Daejon), and the rest from the Philippine parishes of Nampicuan, San Fabian and Malasiqui, with 30 of these young people being part of the group ‘Servants Missionary Youth’.
O Clarim director Fr. Eduardo Emilio Agüero, SCJ, recently organized a mission trip to Cabo Verde, Africa, allowing young Catholics from Macau to engage in service projects, deepen their faith, and live out the Great Commission. This experience aims to inspire virtues like humility and compassion, strengthen their faith, and guide them in their spiritual journey and vocation discernment.
The life of a Christian is a hard one, filled with sacrifice and suffering. We must not let obstacles dissuade us from the path we have chosen, for we have chosen it not for ourselves but for Christ.
