 MORNING PRAYER

The Catholic Church remembers Missions Month in October. Missions Month is a way for us to remember that we all have gifts and that we are asked to share them with the world to make our planet a better place to live. Many people dedicate their lives to missions, to going to a different country and helping them learn about their faith. Today, we are going to pray for missions around the world by using a prayer supported by Pope Francis.

Heavenly Father,

Your son told his disciples to go to all the world and make disciples. 

We know this challenge is still with us today. 

Help us to support and pray for missions around the world,

so that people around the world

may know the love and mercy of Jesus,

who lives and reigns with you.

Amen

The schools with the highest ranking at the end of each round will win a cash prize, and the students who answered the most questions right in the time period will also win personal cash bursaries! For more information about this career exploration opportunity, please go to http://informed.chatterhigh.com/l/lets-talk-careers/?inf_contact_key=8cf4b41b06725a6c60ba40b5b77a778c09c74070ac2bf3cfa7869e3cfd4ff832
