Once More from Emmaus

The Church exists for the sake of mission: the plan of salvation that God offers to all. Mission is the theme of these articles by the Bishop of Milan. They remind those involved in ministry that the ultimate aim of any pastoral programme is to share, in its own unique way, the Gospel message with the world. Cardinal Martini stresses that all who have received the Gospel message are compelled to pass on that message to the unbaptized and to those who have strayed from the Church. For all who have met Christ along the road, but still find their step hesitant as they set out to spread the good news, this book should put confidence in their stride. Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, the Archbishop of Milan, is the author of "In the Thick of His Ministry", "Perseverance in Trials", "Jacob's Dream" and "The Joy of the Gospel".
