I am delighted to know that MTA Province is updating its website. This virtual platform gives us the opportunity to engage in our mission in a different way.
Inevitability the influence of social media is visible in all the spheres of our daily life. Our Founder advised us to interpret the voice of the times with “an ear to the heart of God and a hand on the pulse of the times”. The evangelization through digital world is an important need of our time and our presence in this world is an answer to God’s call.
Without denying its potential problems, Pope Francis acknowledges that the internet “offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good, a gift from God” (Catholic Church's World Communications Day. Jan 23, 2014).
I wish and pray that this digital platform may help us to spread the mission and charism of Schoenstatt according to the voice of our times. United in our mission.
Fr. Alexandre Awi Mello
