Circular Letter on Mission Activity

200 years have passed since the birth of the Capuchin missionary Cardinal William Massaja, and this anniversary suggests a question for us: “How strong in me is the longing to go away, beyond my own fields, like the young Massaja? How strong in my/our Capuchin fraternity is the desire to be a missionary? What am I, what are we, ready to give to strengthen our mission in the world?”. 2009 is also the centenary of the death of Br. Bernard Christen of Andermatt, General Minister of the Order from 1884 to 1908, who was almost a second founder of the Order He committed himself totally to the renewal of our missions.
