Rev. Fr Oscar Bitu, in his homily said Mission Sunday is when we as children of God are called, invited or commanded to be missionaries and spread the message of hope to all people. “In the first reading, we meet Amalek trying to destroy God’s mission by fighting the Israelites but through relentless prayer and trust in God, Moses and the Israelites conquered”, he said. Whilst referring to the gospel, Rev Fr Bitu emphasised the importance persevering and persistent in prayer as exemplified by the widow whose efforts were rewarded. In his parting note, the priest encouraged everyone to be good missionaries in their daily lives, wherever they are.
