After Mass, the priest or the deacon says, "Go in peace to love and serve the Lord." This is not simply a dismissal but also - and most importantly - a sending forth, a commissioning, a mission. Just as Christ said to His apostles, "As the Father has sent me so I send you" (John 20:21), at the end of the Mass, we are sent into the world - into our local community, our families, our places of work, study and play - to make visible the face of God and the grace of Christ.. and to wash one another's feet!

Grace has transformed our lives and through us, through our community outreach...
Christ will now transform the world!
