Mission Sunday
Tell among the nations his glory and his wonders among all the peoples.
The Christian story is the wonderful news which the whole world has the right to hear. It is the news which offers meaning, hope and transcendence to human life.It is the story which never grows old. Each morning it calls for a new song to the Lord.
The worship of modern idols in wealth, celebrity status or popular fashion the gods of the heathens is incapable of satisfying the deep needs of our spirit. There is one God, the beginning and the end of all, who alone is to be adored and worshipped.
At Mass we gather in Gods holy house to bring our offering and return all glory.
Today, Mission Sunday, we pray that all people will have the privilege of hearing his word and joining in his worship.
Heroism
There are no words to express, nor phrases in this language to convey the heroism of Irish missionaries: to have to see twenty tiny children brought in, in a state of advanced kwashiorkor; to know that you have enough relief food to give ten a chance of living while the others are completely beyond hope; to have to face this sort of thing day in and day out; to age ten years in as many months under the strain; to be bombed and strafed, dirty, tired and hungry and to keep on working, requires the kind of courage that is not given to most men who wear a chestful of ribbons. Frederick Forsyth
Mission Ceremony
The young people will lead us in a little ceremony for Mission Sunday. At the end of the ceremony we will pray together:
Lord Jesus, you love all children. We want to show our love for you by doing all we can to help all children to come to know and love you. We promise to share our prayers, love and good things with others here and around the world.
Lord, look kindly on missionaries.
Fill their hearts with perseverance and courage
so that they patiently continue
the work of the apostles in our world today. Amen.
