The missionary dimension of the Catholic Church

About this sermon

👉🏻 Sign up here: https://mailchi.mp/ewtn/vatican Every year during the month of October, the Catholic Church celebrates the missions. During this month, we commemorate two events that have marked the history of mission: the discovery of the Americas, which opened up a new page in the history of evangelization, and the feast of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, the universal patroness of the missions, which is celebrated on the first of October. On the second to last Sunday of October, the culminating moment of the missionary month, World Mission Sunday, is celebrated. For this occasion the Pope sends a message out to the entire Church. This year, 2022, Pope Francis remembered the three foundations that sustain and nourish the evangelizing mission: the universality of the call to bear witness to Christ; the perennial newness of this mandate, and the necessity of the strength of the Holy Spirit so that this mission might bear fruit.
