CONCLUSION to MARY in the work of Evangelisation & Family Renewal

Below is a conclusion to the published and copyrighted "Mary in the work of Evangelisation & Family Renewal" by Frank Padilla of RESTORATION MOVEMENT FOR FAMILY AND LIFE MINISTRIES, INC. based in Mandaluyong City, Philippines.
I spotted this little booklet at a religious articles store in Tayuman, Manila. I couldn't help but share this wonderful knowledge of Mary's indispensable role in the New Evangelisation, and her relationship with the building of our families. I hope you have enjoyed reading the previous posts on this important and necessary topic of the Catholic Faith.


CONCLUSION


Evangelisation, family, Mary - all are intertwined. All go together, according to the very plan of God.
If all Christians were to really live out their vocation as disciples of Jesus Christ, their basic work would be described in one word - evangelisation. Now according to the plan of God, this work of evangelisation should be done within the context of family renewal. Thus evangelisation and family renewal make up the one work and mission. These are the most crucial aspects of work in the kingdom, especially for this third millennium.
In this work, which is God's work given to human beings, we look to the one person who was given by God such an important roll in salvation history. She is the Blessed Virgin Mary. We look to her for help, for wisdom and guidance, and for inspiration. We submit ourselves to her maternal care and protection. We rely on her powerful intercession.

May the work of all Christians not only proclaim Christ and his salvation to the ends of the earth. May their work not only strengthen and help renew Christian families. May their work also make known the indispensable role and the critical importance of our Blessed Mother in God's plan for the life of the world.
May all the peoples of the earth honour and venerate her. May the words of her prophetic canticle truly come to pass:

"Behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed." (Lk 1:48)
