Thursday, October 17th

DAY 1

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 the faith. 

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 may know the love and mercy of Jesus,
who lives and reigns with you.
Amen.
