Bishop Gerardo Melgar of Osma-Soria, Spain sent a letter to children reminding them that Jesus is counting on them to be “little missionaries.”
“Jesus is counting on you as his disciples, that is, as persons who encounter him and strive to follow him,” Bishop Melgar told them in his letter marking the Day of Missionary Children.
The day will be celebrated Sunday, Jan. 22.
The Lord “counts on you also as his missionaries, that is, as believers who not only live your faith, but also try to communicate it to others by speaking of him, praying together and helping them discover how important God is to you.”
