” ” The Pope concludes his Message for the World Day of Callings by mentioning the duty of the Christian families and the whole community. He writes: "for the Church to be able to continue carrying out the mission entrusted to it by Christ and for the evangelisers the world needs never to be missing, the Christian communities must never stop engaging in a continuing education of children and adults to faith; an active sense of missionary responsibility and sympathetic participation with the peoples of the earth must be kept alive in the congregation". "The gift of faith he adds calls all Christians to contribute to evangelisation. This awareness must be raised through preaching and through the catechesis, the liturgy and an ongoing education to praying; it must be raised through the practise of inclusion, charity, spiritual guidance, reflection and discernment, as well as through a pastoral planning, which an attention to callings must be an integral part of". "Only in a soil that is spiritually well tended concludes Benedict XVI can the callings to the ministerial priesthood and consecrated life thrive. Actually, those Christian communities which live to the full the missionary dimension of the mystery of the Church will never tend to withdraw onto themselves".
