From April 28, Thursday, thru May 1, Sunday, of 2016, the First Meeting of the Planetary Mission Network will be held in the Community-of-Light of Figueira. The Meeting is an instance founded by the Fraternidade – International Humanitarian Federation, at the request of Saint Joseph, to increase its capacity of humanitarian service in the whole planet. Of this conclave may participate everyone who feel in their heart the wish to render a voluntary service in a selfless and disinterested manner.
As a result of the request made by Saint Joseph on February 16, 2016, on a message received by the visionary Sister Lucía de Jesús, a nun of the Grace Mercy Order, three levels of missionaries will be confirmed.
The first group, called matrix group, will consist of the consecrated missionaries, who, in the phrasing of Ricardo Baumgartner, coordinator of the sector of the Missionaries within the Fraternidade, ‘are those whose only task is to be a missionary, those who are available 24/7 to fulfil the requests of service of the Divine Messengers’. Most of them reside in the Communities-of-Light and have been working together since the first humanitarian mission, conducted in Nepal, in October 2011.
The second group of missionaries will congregate those who can only dispose of one or two continuous weeks of time. They will render service on short missions, of low risk, which do not demand much specialization and that will take place in countries of Latin America.
The third group of missionaries will be composed of the regional groups, that is, by ‘those people who are in their homes, who are members of the Network-of-Light, Children of Mary or collaborators in general and who only have one day or a week-end available for a brief mission in their cities. They will be responsible for giving continuity to the missions that are conducted in their region’, explained Ricardo.
‘In this First Meeting, we will pass information about how the humanitarian missions will work from now on, how the organization of the work will be done, the training, etc. One novelty is that the matrix group is intensifying its adaptation for emergency situations, with physical and technical training to render assistance and rescue in various situations (height, confined areas, under debris, flooded areas, etc). This preparation will be transmitted to the other two levels of missionaries in the appropriate dosis for each group’, he added.
The participants of this First Meeting of the Planetary Mission Network are going to receive the basic qualification for cases of accidents and the opportunity of living service under the missionary consciousness in institutions regularly assisted by the Missionaries of the Fraternidade in Lavras, Nepomuceno, Varginha and Carmo da Cachoeira.
One hundred people are enrolled so far, coming from several regions of Brazil (Northeast, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília), Argentina and Uruguay. The enrolments will be open until Wednesday, April 27, 2016. Those who prefer to bring their tents to camp during their stay in the Community-of-Light of Figueira may do it.
