World Mission Sunday
Once again this year, World Mission Day gathers us
around the person of Jesus, "the very first and greatest
evangelizer" (Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, 7),
who continually sends us forth to proclaim the
Gospel of the love of God the Father in the power of
the Holy Spirit.
This Day invites us to reflect anew on the mission at
the heart of the Christian faith. The Church is
missionary by nature; otherwise, she would no longer
be the Church of Christ, but one group among many
others that soon end up serving their purpose and
passing away. So it is important to ask ourselves
certain questions about our Christian identity and
our responsibility as believers in a world marked by
confusion, disappointment and frustration, and torn
by numerous fratricidal wars that unjustly target the
innocent. What is the basis of our mission? What is
the heart of our mission? What are the essential
approaches we need to take in carrying out our
mission?
—Pope Francis

is kind enough to step up for us. We will keep
praying.
