World Mission Month

Pope Francis has declared October- World Mission Month: “ Baptized and Sent”.
Missionary touches us personally: I am a mission, always; you are a mission, always; every baptized man and woman is a mission. People in love never stand still: they are drawn out of themselves; they are attracted and attract others in turn; they give themselves to others and build relationships that are life-giving. As far as God’s love is concerned, no one is useless or insignificant. Each of us is a mission to the world, for each of us is the fruit of God’s love.

Mission is sharing what you have with those who don’t have. Probably the greatest thing I am learning personally is the recognition and belief that all that I have is not mine. I believe that even that I poured my own sweat into obtaining what I have it was all designed and orchestrated by God. All that I have is to be shared with others and in particular for me, is for those who cannot pay in return, though they pay me tenfold with their love.

I have witnessed through the generosity from you at home who financially sacrifice for the poor whom they will never know. You have allowed me to self-evaluate and challenge me personally as to how I give to others. For that I give thanks to you and to God.
