Pope Benedict XVI's October prayer

October prayer intention:

"That the entire People of God, to whom Christ entrusted the mandate to go and preach the Gospel to every creature, may eagerly assume their own missionary responsibility and consider it the highest service they can offer humanity."

Today is also the feast day of St. Therese of Liseux, who is not-so-coincidentally the patron saint of missionaries!

If you were looking for confirmation that God wants you to share your faith, consider this it. ;-)

How have you lived out your "missionary responsibility" lately?

Do you truly consider it "the highest service" you "can offer humanity"?

St. Therese of Liseux, pray for us.
