All of us are called to be messengers of God’s love, peace, kindness and forgiveness. Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI in his Mission Sunday message says, “The goal of the Church’s mission is to illumine all peoples with the light of the Gospel as they journey through history towards God, so that in Him they may reach their full potential and fulfillment.
We should have a longing and a passion to illumine all peoples with the light of Christ that shines on the face of the Church, so that all may be gathered into the one human family, under God’s loving fatherhood.” It is an invitation for each of us to lead others to the right path by our enlightened lives. Today, let us pray that God may inspire all Christians everywhere to become aware of this pressing obligation to proclaim Christ’s message of love through word and deed.
