In Jesus’ Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) Jesus calls the church to “make disciples”.
However, the Church across the world has forgotten how to make disciples. Subsequently, the Church is in rapid decline. Society is becoming less Christian. Churches are closing. Declining number of priests are given more and more churches to lead. We feel the pain of loved ones not practicing faith. How do we as a Church move forward?
In his book: ‘Divine Renovation’, Fr James Mallon, outlines what it means for a parish to make disciples – to help people meet Jesus and come into a relationship with him. It centres on 3 keys: evangelisation, leadership, and the Holy Spirit. I am personally committed to Jesus’ Great Commission using those 3 keys. I ask you to join me in this exciting work in this parish!
Please, read the book, watch the videos below, and ask yourself: How might you play your part in maintaining Jesus’ mission’ in this parish?
