Pakistani Christians cheered by papal message KARACHI: Pakistani Catholics are in a buoyant mood following Pope John Paul II's message of encouragement to them at the sidelines of the pontifical missionary societies (PMS) meeting in Rome.
The Pope called Pakistani Christians theliving witnesses of the Gospel in an allusion both to the propagation-of-faith programmes conducted in the country and the trials and tribulations endured by the faithful. The words of encouragement were delivered to Fr Mario Rodrigues, the national director for PMS in Pakistan,during his audience with the Pope last month. Before offering his apostolic blessings upon Pakistani Christians the Pope lauded the work of the pontifical missionary societies in Pakistan and other Asian countries. In recent years the Catholic Church has focussed its attention on missionary animation as well as missionary cooperation. At the latest conference the members of the Superior Council of PMS and the national directors swapped ideas for missionary animation in their individual countries. There are a total of 117 national directors serving the PMS. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
