Missionary Prayer:
Father of all, you sent your Son to carry out your mission of redeeming the world. Let the light of your Gospel of love so shine in the world that it may be transformed into a worthy home for all your children of
every race and country. Bless all missionaries throughout the world that their work may bear fruit. Together with them, may we too share in the missionary work of the whole Church that your Kingdom of justice,
love and peace may come in all hearts and in all nations. We make our prayer through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
