Notes
1. The Verbum Dei community was founded in Spain in 1963 by Rev. Fr. Jaime Bonet. “Verbum Dei” (Latin for “Word of God”) is dedicated to prayer and ministry of the Word in the spirit of the first disciples (see Acts 6:4). It is composed of missionary women, missionary men (priests and brothers), and married couples working in conjunction with the Verbum Dei lay family members. It received pontifical approval in the year 2000 and is working in the five continents in the field of evangelization with the goal of forming apostles of Christ from among people of every age, culture, and social condition.
