His message continues to inspire a Church that is rooted in the Gospel, engaged in the world, and present to the people it serves.<\/p>\n\n<p>The first video features Cardinal G\u00e9rald Cyprien Lacroix, who offers a personal testimony on the Holy Father&#8217;s missionary vision. He reflects on how mission flows first from an encounter with Christ, who sends each of us out toward the other.<\/p>\n\n<p><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lCUB5lSpq9s?si=lp4Avx8p3GlEqbIu\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n(Available in French only)<\/p>\n\n<p>The second video presents a reflection by poet and essayist Jacques Gauthier, who explores the spiritual depth of Pope Francis&#8217;s message.

That missionary call continues to take shape in our world today.<\/p>\n\n<p>In rediscovering this legacy, each of us is invited to respond, in our own way, to that universal call: to be a witness to the Gospel wherever life has placed us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the first anniversary of the death of Pope Francis, the Pontifical Mission Societies released a two-part video series inviting&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11870,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nouvelle"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11871\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
