19th October 2014
Thought for the week
Today, Mission Sunday, is a day for widening our horizons
beyond the confines of our own parish, diocese or country. It is
a day for thinking about the faith that we share and the people
with whom we share it worldwide. It is a day for praying for and
supporting all who share the gospel message, and especially for
those people who cross boundaries - of geography, culture,
language and lifestyle - to proclaim the message of Jesus.
Many, if not most, of the communities gathered to worship today
across the world are poorer than we are, at least in terms of
material possessions. That is why we contribute what we can on
Mission Sunday. Today’s Gospel speaks about giving to Caesar
what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God: we
are called to be good citizens of the countries and societies
where we live, while at all times giving priority to our relationship
with God. That relationship is made possible by the gift of faith.
We thank God that we have received that gift ourselves, and do what we can to share that gift
both locally and globally. Only God can give us fullness of life; today we pray that we may have
that fullness of life and let others share it too.
Give the Lord glory and power.

Today the Holy Father invites all Catholics to contribute to a special collection for Missio,
his official charity for overseas missions. Your prayers and donations today will support the
work of missionaries and young churches, often in difficult and dangerous circumstances overseas. This
year, Missio’s campaign focuses on the needs of the church in Myanmar (Burma) where our brothers and
sisters are struggling against oppression, lack of basic human rights and restrictions on building new
churches. This collection will go in its entirety to support mission projects worldwide that bring God’s love to
all. Please give what you can, and if possible please use a Gift Aid envelope. Thank you for your support
