Let us ask Mary, Mother of the Church and of the Verbum Dei, to accompany us so that with humility and gratitude we might share the responsibility in the task of living and announcing the Gospel. Under the protection of S. Paul, apostle to the Gentiles, we ask to be cause of renewed hope, sharing the same spirit and the same mission. Let it be. Verbum Dei Missionary Family
