Vatican News<\/b>
Through the Apostolic Penitentiary, Pope Leo XIV has granted a plenary indulgence on the occasion of the 100th World Mission Sunday, established by Pope Pius XI in 1926 and celebrated today, Sunday, October 18. This year\u2019s theme is \u201cOne in Christ, United in Mission.\u201d
The faithful can pray the Rosary, in union with the Pope, for the spread of the Gospel throughout the world.
At today\u2019s Angelus, the Pope said: \u201cToday we celebrate the 100th<\/span> World Mission Day.  Let us think of how much missionary history has unfolded over these one hundred years!  Let us pray that the Church may always remain faithful to the mandate of the Risen Lord: \u201cGo into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation\u201d
The Apostolic Penitentiary\u2019s decree specifies that the indulgence can be obtained under the usual conditions: sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff.
In his message for the 100th World Mission Sunday, released on January 25, Pope Leo urges \u201cthe whole Church to continue joyfully and zealously, in the Holy Spirit, along the missionary path, which requires hearts united in Christ, reconciled communities, and a willingness in everyone to cooperate generously and confidently.\u201d
At the heart of the mission, the Pope identifies the \u201cmystery of union with Christ\u201d.
\u201cBeing Christian is not primarily a set of practices or ideas: it is a life in union with Christ, in which we are made participants in the filial relationship that He lives with the Father in the Holy Spirit,\u201d the Pope emphasizes. He adds that the Church\u2019s primary responsibility in its mission is to renew the spiritual and fraternal unity among its members.
Today, we are witnessing conflicts, polarization, misunderstandings, and mutual distrust, Leo XIV observes. He points out that when this happens within ecclesial communities as well, their witness is weakened.
Pope Leo therefore stresses that the evangelizing mission entrusted by Christ to His disciples requires \u201chearts that are reconciled and desirous of communion.\u201d This means, the Pope says, that the proclamation of the Gospel is \u201calways a collective, communal, and synodal undertaking.\u201d

The Angelus is a special prayer recited by Catholics three times a day, at 6am, noon, and 6pm and is accompanied by the ringing of the Angelus bell. The name comes from the Latin word for Angel and the prayer itself reminds us of how Jesus Christ assumed our human nature through the Mystery of the Incarnation.
The Pope recites the Angelus prayer in St Peter\u2019s Square every Sunday at midday.
He also gives a brief reflection on the Gospel of the day and often comments on some issue of international concern. The Pope\u2019s words are broadcast all over the world on radio and television and widely shared on social media.
From Easter to Pentecost the Regina Coeli is prayed instead of the Angelus. This prayer commemorates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and, like the Angelus, concludes with the recitation of the Gloria three times.

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
Pour forth, we beseech You, O Lord,
Your Grace into our hearts;
that as we have known the incarnation of Christ,
Your Son by the message of an angel,
so by His Passion and Cross
we may be brought to the glory of His Resurrection.
Through the same Christ, Our Lord.<\/p>\n

Amen.
Glory be, etc\u2026 (3 times)
Eternal rest\u2026
