The Church gives the faithful an incredible

opportunity to renew their missionary

commitment through World Mission Day, which

falls on the penultimate Sunday of October. “The

World Mission Day itself is not an isolated

moment in the course of the year but rather a

valuable opportunity to pause and reflect on

whether and how we respond to our missionary

vocation…” (Pope Benedict XVI, WMD 2011).

This month, we focus on the verse Pope Francis

has taken as the theme of this year’s World

Mission Day.
