Papal Notes - Popes Plan for the World

"Pope Francis’ plan for the world is to evangelize it with an ecumenical fraternity that will lead us to Rome’s central sacrament – the Sunday Eucharist. These words were published by the Vatican Press Office on May 20, 2024.
The Vatican Press Office published the following:
In this ecclesial meeting the fruitfulness of the Eucharist will be manifested for evangelization and the renewal of faith in the Latin American continent”.
The Eucharistic Congress to be held in Quito should be that voice with a Latin American accent for the Church of the whole world. It will be a voice of hope that announces itself from this Continent of Hope. It will seek to be that prophetic voice that will proclaim to all that Fraternity is the only possible way to make and build a new world.

Fraternity to heal the world” was the theme chosen by Pope Francis for this Eucharistic Congress. We know that there are many wounds in the world, we cannot deny them. The men and women of today suffer
from these wounds. Do we know how to look at our suffering brothers and sisters? Do we know how to listen to the voice of those who cry out from their wounds? Do we know how to heal these wounds? Are we ready to be “
Eucharistic missionaries” of fraternity?

The foundation of Pope Francis’ universal fraternity is the Sunday Eucharist. Rome is emphasizing this in its evangelism.

"....call all sin by its right name. Declare what God has said in regard to lying, Sabbathbreaking, stealing, idolatry, and every other evil. They which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:21.” (Desire of Ages, p. 805).
