By His whole life from birth to death, death to new life our loving Lord has shown us the way. How to live in the light and the truth. How to love one another and has shown us how much God loves us.
And before returning to His throne where He reigns with our heavenly Father. Jesus established His Church, He gave us the Sacraments and sent us the Holy Spirit; that we may know with our very being that He is with us through the end of time.
Now as children of God living in the light, we have been sent to unite all of His children scattered around the world. So that they too may know and experience His love in the knowledge and through the power of His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen

GOSPEL
Mathew 28:16–20
The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
