The site of the Campaign of Prayer for Evangelization of the world is
online, prepared by the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples
and the Pontifical Mission Societies, in particular by the Pontifical
Missionary Union.
The Holy Father Benedict XVI received in audience on
11 May the National Directors of the Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS),
in Rome for the annual meeting of the Superior Council, had stressed:
"Mission today needs to renew its faith in God’s action; needs a more
intense prayer so that his kingdom comes, so that his will is done, as
in heaven, so on earth ... I am therefore glad to encourage the project
of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples and the Pontifical
Missionary Societies, in support of the Year of Faith. This project
provides a worldwide campaign that, through the prayer of the Holy
Rosary, accompanies the work of evangelization in the world and many of
the baptized to rediscover and deepen faith."
The site is still being
completed, it is in four languages (Italian, English, French and
Spanish) and is divided into several sections: Prayer for
Evangelization, Prayer of the Heart, Marian Prayer, Prayer Intentions,
Contributions from the world ... an interview with Cardinal Fernando
Filoni, Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples is
also reported, who on the occasion of his recent pastoral visit to the
Democratic Republic of Congo, had illustrated the initiative: "In the
Year of Faith there will be many programs of theological study all over
the world, from Rome to every diocese. The Congregation for the
Evangelization of Peoples held that all these activities of the Year of
Faith should be supported by an silent fundamental initiative, which is
nothing but the Rosary for the Evangelization during the Year of Faith.
This initiative committs every person to supporting every day the
evangelization of peoples who do not know the faith, those who reject it
and/or those who have lost it."
