With this message we wish to celebrate the 150 years of the Plan for the regeneration of Africa, that Plan in view of which Daniel Comboni saw it was necessary to found in Verona the Institute of the Missions for Africa with a variety of members, men and women, religious and lay. We who are responsible for the Institutes founded by him – Comboni Missionary Sisters and Comboni Missionaries of the Heart of Jesus – and for the other missionary expressions that draw their inspiration from his charism – Secular Comboni Missionary Women and Comboni Lay Missionaries – wish to write this letter to share a brief reflection on the Plan that still accompanies our missionary life and challenges us to become a response to the various missionary situations that we live today in those places where we are present.
