This idea is realized in the \u201cRedemptoris Mater\u201d seminars, which prepare diocesan priests for the New Evangelization, according to the program of the Neocatechumenal Way. We wonder if this option could also be offered to those who do not follow such a movement.

Thus a new form of ministry would be realized: the diocesan missionary.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"689\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Camino_Neocatecumenal_Juan_Pablo_II_carta_sacerdotes_1991..jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Camino_Neocatecumenal_Juan_Pablo_II_carta_sacerdotes_1991..jpg 689w, https:\/\/neocatechumenaleiter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Camino_Neocatecumenal_Juan_Pablo_II_carta_sacerdotes_1991.-300x243.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Letter from Pope John Paul II to the priests for Holy Thursday 3-12-1991 S.
