DAY 2
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. Today we 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
