Mission
Being Good News
Mission is about proclaiming and living the Good News that we have received from Jesus of Nazareth, of God's love for the whole of creation, and God's dream for creation to become the 'Kingdom of God'. For us as Medical Mission Sisters mission is about being present to life in the spirit of Jesus the Healer, participating in Jesus' mission that all people may have life to the full.
Beyond boundaries
Mission is about being sent, going out to others, going beyond ourselves, our own interests, our own comfortable surroundings, to respond to those in need. Mission calls us to move beyond boundaries - the boundaries of our Church, culture and traditional value systems.
Moving beyond boundaries means being willing to be a stranger and a guest, entering a new culture and learning a new language, entering into dialogue and genuine friendship with those on the other side of the boundary, and being open to be changed by this experience. Very often it means accepting powerlessness and living on the margins.
Above all, mission calls us to recognise how and where God's Spirit
is already at work and to follow that lead...
