Ferences népmissziós vonatkozások az 1945–1947 közötti időszakban

In 1945, Bishop Áron Márton was particularly supportive of the resumption of popular masses. One could go on at length about the details of this, but what I would like to highlight is the fact that the script included group teachings in the morning and evening, separately for girls, women, boys, men, children and the elderly. This type of group teaching was targeted at a particular age group and life situation, so that they could better feel and understand the Gospel explanation and catechesis themes. In addition, the highlights of the mission days were the confessions, the sacramental prayers and the processions. It can be seen that the intention to organise popular masses, which was formulated in the autumn of 1945, quickly began to be translated into concrete actions. The wisdom of the organisers is praised by the fact that they did not want to adopt some new method, but tried to meet the spiritual needs of the faithful by applying and supplementing the tried and tested methods of the time. The work began with the existing script - updating the members of the association, organising mission days by diocesan districts, editing publications, giving precise instructions to parish priests and missionaries who needed to carry out popular missions.
