New Year Message from our State EFF Director

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF EVANGELIZATION AND FAITH FORMATION

Happy New Year!

A Catholic man, by nature of his baptism and as a disciple of Jesus Christ, is called to be holy and to share in the evangelistic mission of the church. We hear this call clearly when Jesus says in the Gospel to "be perfect, as your heavenly father is perfect" (Mt. 5:48) and "go therefore and make disciples of all Nations". (Mt. 28:19)

As we begin 2023, remember that each council should provide men with the opportunity to grow and be formed in their fraternal life to fulfill this call.

In his last Spiritual Testament, the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI states " Jesus Christ is truly the way, the truth and the life, and the church with all her insufficiencies is truly her body."

During this next week, let us remember him in our daily prayer life.
