What does it
mean to be a missionary
disciple?
For an answer, let’s turn to one of the best
sources for learning about our faith: prayer. How we pray is often the surest sign of what we believe.
So, how did the US Conference of Catholic Bishops ask us to pray when the Convocation convened in July? They invited all the faithful to implore God to “move us to welcome the word of life in the depths of our hearts and respond to the call of missionary discipleship.”*

So, being a missionary disciple has something
to do with welcoming Christ, the word of life, into our hearts, minds and souls.
That’s the disciple part.
It also has something to do with being a missionary. Does a missionary disciple have to travel to exotic places or have special schooling to preach the gospel? Our next post will consider that question and more.
