God Needs Us to Set People Free

The Lord is determined to set oppressed people free and end the suffering of this world. But he needs people who are willing to give their talents and gifts to discover new ways through which he then will accomplish his dream. God created us for a specific service which he has not given to any other. The privilege of being a missionary consists in having been called to share in a special way in the mission of Christ for  a life giving transformation of the world into God's final design. In the Comboni Missionary family, we have a good tradition of this struggle for transformation.

Some of our members, because of their commitment to justice and peace were expelled from several countries and others who remained were insulted, persecuted and even killed. We have magazines in 4 continents and many different languages and all distinguish themselves by denouncing injustices. The Comboni Missionaries, in whatever part of the world we reside, are engaged in the struggle for total human liberation and promotion of values of the Kingdom.

We never finish growing in this commitment, to examine and name the root causes of systematic structures of oppression in the economic, political, social, cultural and religious fields. We are challenged to witness to non-violence and peace, to promote the respect and defence of Human Rights and of Creation.
