Why did Jesus tell this parable to the man who came to ask for Jesus’s intervention in an inheritance dispute? To assure him that even though he had been cheated, he could still live a very long and happy life.

The Central Message of Pope Leo XIV. The message of Pope Leo XIV for World Mission Sunday 2026 can be summarised in one powerful statement: “Our unity in Christ strengthens our mission, and our mission is to make God’s love known to the whole world.” The Holy Father reminds us that unity is the foundation of mission, cooperation is its strength, and love is its essence. As we celebrate the 100th World Mission Sunday, every baptised Christian is invited to become an active missionary disciple, proclaiming Christ not only through words but especially through a life of faith, unity, service, and love.

The Holy Spirit is the most reliable friend you will ever have. When in trouble, those you call your friends now will show their true colours, but the Holy Spirit will defend you. When trials come your way, Jesus says: “The Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” Learn to call on the Holy Spirit by thinking of Him as the air you breathe. You cannot see it, but you can feel it. You don’t think about it, but you know it is there. Just as no one can survive without air, you cannot do without the Holy Spirit.
