On the occasion of the opening of the working sessions for the XI National Gathering of Catholic Action Youth (ENJAC 2019), which is taking place in Maracaibo (Venezuela) from 13 to 15 September, the Holy Father has sent a Message. The theme for this gathering is Have no fear, from now on, you will be a fisher of men (Lk 5:1-11).

Dear brother:
On the occasion of the XI National Meeting of Catholic Action Youth, which is taking place in the city of Maracaibo, I ask you to send my greetings to all the participants, convened under the motto: Mission with all and for all.
The evangelizing mission stems from adherence to the gift of faith in Jesus Christ, which we receive through Baptism. This gift has been freely given to us, it is lived within the ecclesial community and we freely proclaim it and share it with others. In other words, we live it in communion with everyone and we are sent to reach out to all, without excluding anyone.
I encourage you to live these days as an auspicious occasion to share and renew together your faith and your apostolic commitment, strengthened by the dynamics of an outgoing Church so that you can boldly convey the hope and joy of the Gospel in each of your environments, taking into account especially the most needy and those who have been discarded by society.
May Jesus bless you, bless your families and all the members of Catholic Action in Venezuela, and may the Holy Virgin care for you. And, please, don't forget to pray for me.
Fraternally,
Francis
