1 Newsletter Office for Evangelization and Catechesis asalo Diocese of Lubbock P.O. Box Lubbock, TX Share the Good News (806) September 2017 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: Living as Missionary Disciples: Right Where We Are. This year s Catechetical Sunday theme, Living as Missionary Disciples, invites us to think about our neighbors. Jesus calls us to live as missionary disciples. He calls us to be witnesses of the Good News of healing, help, support, encouragement, patience, mercy, joy, and love. It is not hard to find opportunities to do so. We may think of missionary discipleship in terms of traveling to faraway places to share the Good News; that is not the only way to be missionary disciples of Christ. We can be disciples of Christ by seeking ways to share the Gospel with those right where we are, right where the Lord has put us, today, and in this moment. To live as a missionary disciple is to be attentive to those before you, beside you, to your left, and to your right. Missionary disciples listen to others stories, share in their sorrows, rejoice when others rejoice, and offer encouragement when it is needed. Missionary disciples share the Good News by speaking words of hope and healing, sharing a pot of soup, delivering a plate of cookies, shoveling a neighbor s snowy walk, or inviting that neighbor to come to church. As catechists and ministers, a part of our witness to the children, adults, and families we minister to is to show them by our words and actions what it means to live as missionary disciples. By our example we encourage them in their classrooms, workplaces, families, neighborhoods, and in the world to live as missionary disciples too. Right now, today, and in this moment, what are your opportunities to be a missionary disciple? How and with whom will you share the Good News of Jesus Christ? We invite you to reflect on these questions as we begin our Catechetical Year. Our Annual Catechetical and Ministries Conference this year is on October 14, 2017, at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center. The theme is "Becoming People of the Word for Missionary Discipleship". Our keynote speaker is Stephen J. Binz, a biblical scholar and an award-winning author of over fifty books. This is a great opportunity to enrich yourself, as well as network with your co-ministers from throughout our Diocese and beyond. We look forward to seeing you!

7 Vision and theme of a V Encuentro During a USCCB meeting in Baltimore, missionary discipleship emerged as a central theme of a V Encuentro. In addition, they defined the spirituality of encuentro and accompaniment as an illustration of the Bible passage of The Road to Emmaus, which ends with the Disciples joyfully walking toward Jerusalem. Moreover, they emphasized the necessity for a continual pastoral conversation that allows the Church, consistent with its missionary nature, to respond with more fidelity and enthusiasm in parishes and dioceses. The Church will empower the people to live their vocation more fully as joyful missionaries to the whole Church. Inspired by both Jesus example evident in the gospels and by Pope Francis call to bring joy and hope to the periphery, our process will reach out to those who live in isolation, in sorrow, and in poverty, and to those who find themselves wounded along the way and need the merciful and tender embrace of Christ. From there, one will be able to discern the Church s best pastoral and evangelizing response to parishes, dioceses, and ecclesial movements, both at a regional and at a national level. On this joyful journey, we invite all the faithful to participate in this process. More information regarding this process will follow. God of infinite Mercy, you sent your Risen Son to encounter the disciples on the way to Emmaus. Prayer for the Fifth National Encuentro Grant us today a missionary spirit and send us forth to encounter our sisters and brothers: to walk with them in friendship, to listen to their hopes and dreams with compassion, and to proclaim your Word with courage, so that they might come to know you once again in the breaking of the Bread. Make us all missionary disciples, and stay with us always, as we seek to share the joy of the Gospel with people of all generations, from every race, language, culture, and nation. We ask you this with burning hearts, filled with the Holy Spirit, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the loving intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Star of the New Evangelization in the Americas. Amen.
