Introduction:  “Go into the whole world and preach the gospel to every creature.” It is a new milestone for Bangladesh delegation that Fr. Lintu Areng, OMI is missioning to Paraguay. Nature of the Church is missionary. Oblate is missionary Congregation and always missioning to the people who are needy, poor and marginalized. Therefore, Pope Pius XI called The Oblates as “specialists of difficult missions” and Pope Francis as “Men of Advent”. The Missionary Congregation of Oblates of Mary Immaculate is called to serve the Mother Church and the people of God, ready to welcome, walk and be close to them. St. Eugene de Mazenod heard the call of the Spirit during his life time in diversified forms in the context of Local Church, France as well as the world, the Universal Church. He always responded to the call of Spirit with zeal and eagerness. The oblates still hear the call of the Spirit and responds to Him. Under the guidance of the Spirit and after a prolonged prayerful discernment, our superior General approved Fr. Lintu Areng as Missionary to Paraguay. Fr. Lintu Areng, OMI has been given missionary obedience to the new mission from Bangladesh Delegation too. It is a new journey and an evangelizing mission for Bangladesh Delegation. St. Eugene was a man of advent, docile to the Holy Spirit and a man who could read the signs of the times. We, the Oblates, also have inherited these characteristics from our Founder. Pope Francis reminds the Oblates, “your missionary history is the story of many consecrated people, who have offered and scarified their lives for the mission, for the poor, in order to reach distant lands where there were still “sheep without a shepherd.” Every inch of the world and each human soul is a mission territory, awaiting to hear the Good News. General Chapter 2016, invited all the Oblates to find the new faces of the poor and dare nothing to walk with and serve them. Mandated by the Chapter’s invitation, Bangladesh Delegation was chosen by the AORC as venue for indigenous mission. Inspired by the Chapter’s mandate, we go to PARAGUAY as “men of advent” to be close to the people and commit to build God’s Kingdom. As Fr. Lintu Areng is pioneering to the new mission, representing the Congregation, let us pray for this good health, mind and spirit. May the Holy Spirit, Mother Mary and St. Eugene be with him always! Today we are also very happy that We celebrating the Birthday of our beloved Delegation Superior, Fr. Ajit Victor Costa. He is serving each oblates in Bangladesh. In this Auspicious occasion, We pray for him so that he can carry out ministry with sound body and mind. May God bless him! Rev. Father We wish you all the best and our loves and prayer for you.

 

 

 

 

 

After Mass  a symbolic missionary gift will be given to Fr. Lintu Areng, OMI.

 

Bag.   Bag is one of the important things for a journey. We carry many things in the bag. Father is going to the New Mission, he needs a bag in which he will carry the Holy Bible to the people and will preach the Good News to people.  Now as a sign of missioning to Paraguay as missionary, Fr. Ajit Costa, Delegation Superior will render a bag to Fr. Lintu Areng OMI.

 

Candle: Candle has many meaning in different cultures. According to Christian culture. Candle is a sign of Christ who is light in which we see hope and faith. It brings also light in darkness and life in Christ. Now Father will give him a Candle. 

 

Sandal: Sandal Protects our feet and keep our feed clean. It also helps to walk miles after miles. As missionary, Fr. Lintu Areng OMI, will walk miles after miles; He needs a pair of good sandals so that he can walk miles after miles to preach the Good news.  Now Fr. Ajit Costa will give him a pair of sandals
