SENT TO SHINE HIS LIGHT
Mission Sunday is a sacred reminder that the Church does not merely have a mission — the Church is mission. Instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1926, this day continues to awaken in us the courage of the first disciples who went forth with nothing but faith in their hearts and the Gospel on their lips. Today, the world still hungers for peace, hope, and meaning — and Christ entrusts that answer not to angels or institutions, but to you and me, His missionary disciples.
As we gather around the Eucharist on this Mission Sunday, may our hearts burn with the same passion that moved the apostles to proclaim, “We cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” To help you celebrate this day with renewed zeal, I joyfully share the liturgical materials prepared for your use. Feel free to adapt, print, or project them in your communities, families, or parishes — that together we may echo the cry of Isaiah: “Here I am, Lord — send me!”
