Today is the 100th World Mission Sunday. In the gospel Jesus refers to all humanity being made in the image of God. This is the foundation of our unity, what spurs us to charity and places upon us the task of mission. The sacraments sustain us in all we do.

The parable of this Sunday is the workers hired at different hours of the day and set to work in the vineyard. All are paid the same wage no matter how many hours they worked. This is a parable to teach us about the generous compassion of God. How fortunate we are!

The parable of the two servants, one of whom lacks mercy and forgiveness, is a clear demonstration of how abundant and every ready is God's love, expressed in mercy and forgiveness.

The story of Bl. Imelda Lambertini is amazing, and she focuses our attention on the divine love present in the Blessed Sacrament and Holy Communion.

Christ's commandment to love one another as He has loved us is the basis of the way we treat each other. It also leads us to have a sense of responsibility for each other; to help each other grow in holiness and get to heaven.

St Peter receives an uncomfortable revelation from Our Lord, namely, suffering is the way to eternal life. It is the same for all of us, and so, trust in God is crucial to the Christian life.

Matthew 16 is an important chapter for Catholics. It shows us that Jesus chooses Peter to be His vicar on earth. We understand, through unfailing teaching throughout the centuries, Jesus meant what He said and says what He means.

Salvation is available for all who want it.

The essence of the Church's existence is the salvation of souls, that is, bringing souls to Christ so that they may freely choose the salvation won for us and offered to all.

But, that's a task for the whole Church and for every member. We must become missionary disciples.

St Peter knew what it was like to reach out to Christ in the midst of difficulty and to receive His help. No doubt, he did his more than once in his life. We too have to do this so that we remain close to Him, who has suffered for us. St Mary of the Cross (Mackillop), our first Australian saint, is an outstanding example of this too.
