For the Lay Comboni Missionaries who this month are celebrating their Intercontinental Assembly: that the Holy Spirit may accompany them, illuminate them in making decisions for the good of the mission, and keep them faithful to their vocation. Let us pray.
There is always a response to God’s call, when people say yes, a celebration can be held over the years, where we can all participate to celebrate, I Lety was invited by a religious to support her Missionary Animation and so it happened from November 9 to 17, in the community of Bocja Arenal Hidalgo, a community between Actopan and Pachuca we participated.
It was a week of sharing where I participated and not alone; I was able to live it with Sandra CLM from Guadalajara, a companion of the local group and who will soon begin her community formation to be able to go out to the ad-gentes mission.
Sharing with the people our Catholic Christian Joy in the style of St. Daniel Comboni, the reason for the week of Missionary Animation was the 25th anniversary of religious life of my friend, a vocation of this place to awaken the vocation in new generations. We are grateful for all that we lived; always filled with the presence of God.

Since Thursday I have witnessed the work that OMPE PUERTO RICO is doing to live our congress as a church in America.
I have had the opportunity to meet persons of the people who with their joy are able to transmit the Love and Joy of the Gospel in their work spaces.
We coincided with a group of missionary friends from different countries who gathered since Friday to be attentive and participate 100% as CAM6 congress participants, KNOWING THAT FROM YOUR HOME YOU CAN PARTICIPATE and MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD on the topics that as a Church we are going to deal with.
A press conference has been held with those responsible for the realization of the event. Where they share the details of the topics to be discussed, who will participate and everything that the Missionary Church is interested in.
Join us through the virtual transmission if you are still at home.
Pray and make written contributions within the topics to generate opinion, YOU WILL BE HEARD.
CLM, Beatriz Maldonado
From September 27 to 29 we had our national assembly in preparation for the international meeting 2024, the appointment was in Mexico City where 15 CLM from different groups of the national movement participated, Fr. Filomeno Ceja MCCJ as our companion present and Fr. Luis Enrique Ibarra invited to give the theme of Missionary Animation.
In an atmosphere of prayer and dynamism we were able to address the issues provided by the central committee that we had to work, we made groups where each one of us had the opportunity to express our missionary feeling about the reality presented, in addition we established our commitments based on what we can do in our place. We have managed to address all the issues, we are still preparing the documents that will be sent to the central committee and we managed to make the work plan for next year.
We have established dates where we highlight the moments of prayer in the monthly retreat in each group, dates for virtual prayer where we all participate remembering key moments in the life of Comboni, as to strengthen the spirit and our retreat in person at the national level, as well as the date for our next assembly.
The dates for the beginning and closing of the community experience.
The formation for the following year.
The activities that will be carried out to gather economic resources for the following year. To continue sending our contribution to the central committee, to sustain the community experience and the mission house in Metlatónoc.
Each one of the members wrote our letter of commitment where we specify what we are going to commit ourselves to for the following year. This letter was received by the Assessor and the Coordinator of the CLM movement in Mexico. It was really a moment of happiness to see something concrete for each of the CLM members present.
The party was not long in coming and we all shared the typical things that each one has in their region. Thank God we all returned safely to our cities.
CLM Mexico.
That the Comboni Family, rooted in hope and joy, may accompany the young people who are preparing to live the 39th World Youth Day, supporting their search for happiness and fullness, helping them to become protagonists of a new humanity. Let us pray.
