Spiritual Preparation

One of our custom in Gebirah is that within 8 days before each mission, we do the following:

Daily Mass
Daily prayer for the mission, missioners and our Friends in Need (including the Rosary and Angelus)
Confession
Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father and Cardinal.

This helps prepare ourselves spiritually which is critical to having a meaningful mission.

Plenary Indulgence During the 2025 Jubilee

In addition, this year being the year of the Jubilee, the Vatican had issued a decree outlining ways that Catholics can obtain two plenary indulgences a day, which includes making pilgrimages and practicing works of mercy by helping those who are in need like this Mission.

A plenary indulgence is a grace granted by the Catholic Church through the merits of Jesus Christ to remove the temporal punishment due to sin.

To obtain an indulgence, the usual conditions of detachment from all sin, sacramental confession, holy Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the pope must be met, which, coincidentally falls within Gebirah's custom for spiritual preparation.

We highly encourage you to aim for this as our Mission trip sets you up nicely for it.

Prayer Assignments

You may also be each assigned a prayer to lead the group each day during our mission. The purpose is to keep us all on track spiritually and to always have the presence of God in our minds as we serve this community. An e-prayer card will be shared to help you recite the prayers.

So please remember to bring your rosary. If you don't have one, let your Mission Lead know.
