The 29th Sunday of the Year
Is 53:10-11; Heb 4:14-16; Mk 10:35-45 (Year B)
Throughout the world this Sunday is kept as World Mission Day. We are reminded that, by virtue of our shared baptism, all are called and enabled to become witnesses to the Gospel. It is not enough simply to support the Church’s mission from afar. Each, by the way they live their lives, must become a part of that mission.
The prophet Isaiah, describing a suffering servant, outlined the mission that would find its fulfilment in Jesus: “The Lord has been pleased to crush his servant with suffering. His soul’s anguish over, he shall see the light and be content. By his sufferings shall my servant justify many, taking their faults on himself.”
