29th SUNDAY OF THE YEAR – WORLD MISSION DAY

Christ the Suffering Servant of God

Today we celebrate the Christ who gives meaning to all human suffering
By taking on himself the role of a servant and redeeming us by his sufferings, he has turned all our human values upside down. It is the weak who have become strong.
