Delighted to have students from @StBrigidsNerang joining with @catholicmission as Mission Ambassadors for this weekend’s campaign appeal on #WorldMissionSunday Thanks so much for your passion and participation including @BelKingston

We were discussing this as a team yesterday. And yes, the #extraordinarymissionarymonth was just that...and now it continues on a daily basis. @catholicmission

"Missionary activity is not limited to a month but a daily activity. Hence, this climax signals the beginning of our lifelong commitment to evangelization for the betterment of the world and salvation of the people."

God will not be the only one who welcomes us into Heaven. There will also be those with whom we have shared all the Lord has placed in our hands, after administering it well.

Can someone advise: does a total fire ban mean no backyard bbq? Using a gas bbq. In @brisbanecityqld & looking to host visitors tonight. 😊 Thanks in advance. @SpencerHowson @roseloulane @MsFridayology

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

God has entrusted us with His greatest gifts: our life, the lives of others, and so many different gifts for each person. He invites us to make these talents bear fruit with audacity and creativity.

I was there when they announced that St Stephen’s School at ALGESTER had raised more than $12,000 for @catholicmission #socktober and the work of Sr Stan in Ghana. Fantastic effort Luke, staff and students! @BneArchdiocese @Cath_Ed_BNE

@WeAreBrisbane You have made me want to take my copy of this book away with me this weekend. Been on my shelf for eons. Thanks for the inspiration. 😬🙏🏻

[David McGovern @livedogster]

@peppers_ghost Get well quickly Syd. Thinking of you and praying all goes well. 🙏🏻 @SpencerHowson FYI 😌

[David McGovern @livedogster]

If only it were so easy 😢

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Dear friends, in this month of November, we are invited to pray for the dead. Let us entrust our family members, friends and acquaintances to God, especially in the Eucharist, feeling them close to us in the spiritual company of the Church. #GeneralAudience

[David McGovern @livedogster]

@BostonMissions - maybe I need to bring her out next time? 🤣

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 19:1-10) shows us that the merciful gaze of the Lord reaches us before we even realize that we need it to be saved.

[David McGovern @livedogster]

Awesome work by all the staff and students of @StBrigidsNerang including @BelKingston Proud to share it with @BostonMissions and the team from @catholicmission

[St Brigid's Nerang @StBrigidsNerang]

With #Socktober & @catholicmission appeals still very much in the foreground, we give thanks for the contribution of @BostonMissions (pictured at check in counter, at @BrisbaneAirport ) towards those initiatives. #EMM19 #extraordinarymissionarymonth #ExtraordinaryMissionaryMonth

@SusanCarland Thanks for the tip. An incredible piece of editing. Well done to all those who contributed. What a legacy that song is!

[David McGovern @livedogster]

Happy World Teachers Day to all those who are or who have been educators to the younger generations, across @Cath_Ed_BNE and beyond.
@catholicmission prays it will be a day
of affirmation. May you know that your contributions and efforts are appreciated and valued.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

As we celebrate the #ExtraordinaryMissionaryMonth, we ask the Holy Spirit to enable us to open the doors of the Gospel to all peoples and to be authentic witnesses of divine love. #GeneralAudience

@CardinalSean @BostonMissions This is a good cause. Go @CardinalSean #preachit

[Catholic Mission @catholicmission]

Pope Francis calls us to respond to Christ's invitation to bring mission into our everyday lives: "no one is excluded from his [Christ's] heart".

What can you do today that will bring mission further into your life, and the lives of those around you?

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Go and show love to everyone, because your life is a precious mission: it is not a burden to be borne, but a gift to offer. #ExtraordinaryMissionaryMonth #MissionaryOctober https://t.co/2hdbjOPe7J
