World Mission Sunday sends us to “go and invite everyone to the banquet.” (Mt 22:19)
Today, we celebrate that the Church continues to go out to the ends of the earth with the invitation of Jesus. As we gather on World Mission Sunday, along with Catholics around the globe, our prayers and our contributions to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith foster global missionary cooperation, enabling the pastoral and evangelizing work of the Church. This includes building churches, providing healthcare and education and training future priests and religious. Let us remember that our participation and support help invite countless souls to the feast of God’s love.
Thank you for going out to everyone, everyone, everyone and extending the invitation to communion with Christ.
