CPPS Monthly Bulletin for JPIC

Monthly issue for discussion and information
Fr. Felix Mushobozi, cpps




Dear friend, welcome to this newly born bulletin. The aim of this page is to create a little room for conversation regarding the relevance of issues of Justice, peace and Integrity of creation (JPIC) to our CPPS charism in particular and the missionary vocation of the church in general.

The former moderator General Barry Fisher used to remind us: “Yet, as missionary communities we are called to live as a pilgrim people, to travel light, to always have the mental disposition of "letting go" and to travel on whenever God calls us or whenever the signs of the times beckon a response from us. The Blood of Jesus calls us to witness to his presence, to be living arks, reminding the outcasts and the downtrodden that God's love is unfailing and that they are never alone. God journeys with them. Our Pilgrim God wishes to be with the suffering, with those pushed out to the fringes of society and with those whose lives are threatened showing his love and concern to them, through our missionary presence. We walk with the people to show them that their pilgrimage isn't just a wandering without a destiny, but a road which others have already walked. We will be a Sign for them. We are members of the new alliance, sealed in the Blood of the Lamb!”.
