Romeo Boncales Avenido, Comboni-missionar: „Der lautlose Ruf Gottes“
Montag, 22. Januar 2024
Berufung ist ein besonderer Bestandteil des Lebens. Sie ist wie ein winziges Samenkorn, das wächst und erblüht. „Als junger Erwachsener war es für mich keine Option, Priester zu werden. Doch Gott wirkt auf eine besondere Weise. Er nutzt die Menschen als Werkzeug, um seinen lautlosen Ruf zu verkünden“, sagt Romeo Boncales, erzählend wie es zu seiner missionarischen Berufung kam.

Tuesday, October 17, 2023
On October 10, 2023, tucked in a very small chapel were some more than 200 people of the Parish of St. Daniel Comboni in Bataan, Philippines. For the first time, they joined the Comboni Family in celebrating the feast of a great missionary, St. Daniel. It is a sign that the charism of Daniel Comboni is relevant even in the country that recently celebrated its 500 years of evangelization.
Father Benjosef Carlos Raposa, from the Philippines: “My ‘Yes’ to God”
Saturday, September 2, 2023
I am Father Benjosef Carlos Raposa from the Philippines. At the age of seven, I followed my older brothers and became an altar server. In high school, I was involved in catechetical ministry and volunteer work. “My encounter with the World Mission Magazine in a seemingly random way caught my heart month after month. I found an invitation at the back of the magazine, one which I could not just ignore. (...) It was the start of a year-long discernment that clarified my yes to the Lord.” [Comboni Missionaries]
