A limerick (Irish poem) for St. Patrick's Day:

The Comboni's, with faith as their guide,
Across deserts and rivers did stride.
With St. Daniel's plea,
"Let Africa be free!"
Their mission, they'd never hide.

St. Patrick was first and foremost a missionary. Born in Scotland, England or Wales (it's still up for debate), he was kidnapped and taken to be enslaved in Ireland. He escaped, studied in England and France before being ordained a Bishop. He then returned to Ireland as a missionary Bishop.

A prayer from the Breastplate of St. Patrick:
Christ be with me,
Christ within me,
Christ behind me,
Christ before me,
Christ beside me,
Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ in quiet,
Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
St. Patrick, pray for us.

Today, on the Sixth Sunday of the Word of God, we embrace the theme from Psalm 119:74: “I hope in Your Word.” In moments of uncertainty, let us find solace and strength in the Scriptures, allowing God’s Word to guide and uplift us.

As Pope Francis reminds us, dedicating this day to the Word enables us to experience anew the risen Lord opening the treasury of His Word, empowering us to proclaim its unfathomable riches to the world.  Let’s delve into the Bible, reflect on its teachings, and let it illuminate our path.

Today we celebrate World Mission Sunday, a day of prayer, solidarity, and support for the Church's mission efforts. This year's theme is pulled from the Gospel of Matthew "Go and Invite Everyone to the Banquet." During his message for WMS, Pope Francis said"

"I take this opportunity to thank the missionaries who, responding to Christ's call, left everything to go far from their homeland and bring the Good News to places where people have not yet received it or have only recently welcomed it. Dear friends, your generous dedication is the tangible expression of the commitment to the mission ad gentes that Jesus entrusted to his disciples: "Go and make disciples of all nations" (Mt 28:19). Let us therefore continue to pray and thank God for the new and numerous missionary vocations for the work of evangelization to the ends of the earth."

This World Mission Sunday, pray for our missionaries, and all missionaries working tirelessly to share the Gospel around the world.
