We are called to this Eucharistic celebration-along with Catholics in every parish, chapel and church throughout the world-to recommit ourselves to the call we heard at Baptism, to share our faith, to be missionaries. Let us pray at this Mass for all who long to hear the hope-filled, life-giving message of Jesus' love and salvation. Let us offer generous financial help to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith in support of the service of priests, Religious and lay catechists in more than 1,150 local churches throughout Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands and remote regions of Latin America.If, for any reason you may have overlooked the envelope in your packet for this week's World Mission Sunday, you may still put it in the offertory basket next week.
The Holy Father's Missionary Prayer Intention for October 2010
That the World Mission Day may afford an occasion for understanding that the task of proclaiming Christ is an absolutely necessary service to which the Church is called for the benefit of humanity.
