Pope’s Mission Intention: That the pilgrim Church on earth may shine as a light to the Nations.

November 1, 2012: We pilgrims are called to lead the way for others so that they too may find their way to God. In his message for the world mission day 2009, Pope Benedict wrote “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 fulfilment… so that all may be gathered into the one human family, under God’s loving Fatherhood. It is in this perspective that the Disciples of Christ spread throughout the world to work, struggle and groan under the burden of suffering, offering their very lives.

May our prayer with Pope Benedict this month help us all to be the pilgrim Church that shines as a light to the nations.
