Asian-Australian Encounter 2019

AAE Day 4 - Go to the world and catch some fish!

​December 1,2019 marked the last day of the Asian Australian Encounter.  It  was 4 enriching  days of  learning, praying, and connecting with the Verbum Dei Catholic Missionary Family. The day opened with a talk given by Bro. Daniel Drum which centered on  catching people through the net of preaching.
 
He said that all of us are missionaries because we  all are  baptized. He shared about his experience of being a shy person and how a missionary and the community helped  him to overcome it and  as a result, now he  wants to do the  same to others. He said that  our mission can save lives.
 
The event ended with the Holy Eucharist which was organized by the Vietnam Community. It was presided by Fr. James Mctavish concelebrated by Iwao Ikegami, Fr. Bong Guinoo and Fr. Daniele Sollazzo. In his homily, Fr.  James discussed about Advent which he said is important because it is a preparation for the birth of  Jesus. He said also that this will be a great time to check what's  inside our hearts.
 
Before the mass ended, the Awarding  of the Song Writing contest was held headed by Sr. Adriana. Haro. She invited  the participants to check the Verbum Dei Website and share its content in their local communitues.
 
Now, the 2019 Verbum De Asian Australian Encounter is already  over  but the mission continues. May the good things that the participants learned remain in their hearts. May all of us push a little bit from the shore and be able to catch many fish!

    About the event

    ​The Asian Australian Encounter is an international gathering of lay members and missionaries of our Verbum Dei community from Thursday, November 28, 2019 - Sunday, 1 December 2019, in Tagaytay. Representatives will be coming from our communities all over the Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam and Australia.

    The theme of the encounter is “Push out a little from the shore” (Luke 5:3). Our Lord is inviting us to go for more, and to go deeper. The 4-day gathering includes reflections on pushing our boat out further, prayer times, sharing, adoration, Holy Mass, presentations of our countries, music, as well as cultural presentations.

    Overall it promises to be a fun filled and meaningful encounter!
