“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.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
The authentic Catholic life leads us not to membership and disjointed action, but to discipleship and to mission. The act of divine worship ends with the dismissal to GO forth. We are sent, as another dismissal formulary says, to go and glorify the Lord with the entirety of our lives and to make disciples of others.
For Victims of Abuse: We pray for those who have suffered harm from members of the Church; may they find within the Church herself a concrete response to their pain and suffering.
