Try to keep your mind free, cheerful, and open. This openness of heart and mind is indispensable for the acquisition of true interior spirit.

The missionary is a person of the Beatitudes. Before sending out the Twelve to evangelise, Jesus teaches them the paths of mission: poverty, meekness, acceptance of suffering and persecution, the desire for justice and peace, charity - in other words, the Beatitudes, lived out in the apostolic life. By living the Beatitudes, the missionary experiences and shows concretely that the kingdom of God has already come, and that he has accepted it. The characteristic of every authentic missionary life is the inner joy that comes from faith.

Le missionnaire est l’homme des Béatitudes. Avant de les envoyer évangéliser, Jésus instruit les Douze en leur montrant les voies de la mission: pauvreté, douceur, acceptation des souffrances et des persécutions, désirs de justice et de paix, charité, c’est-à-dire précisément les Béatitudes, réalisées dans la vie apostolique. En vivant les Béatitudes, le missionnaire expérimente et montre concrètement que le Règne de Dieu est déjà venu et qu’il l’a accueilli.

O missionário é o homem das Bem-aventuranças. Antes de os enviar a evangelizar, Jesus dá instruções aos Doze indicando-lhes os caminhos da missão : pobreza, humildade, desejo de justiça e paz, aceitação do sofrimento e da perseguição e caridade, isto é, precisamente as Bem-aventuranças, concretizadas na vida apostólica. Vivendo as Bem-aventuranças, o missionário experimenta e demonstra concretamente que o Reino de Deus já chegou e ele já o acolheu.
