Sunday Daily TV Mass Sunday October 18, 2026

0:03 From the St. Ignatius Chapel at the Manresa Jesuit Spiritual Renewal Center in Pickering, Ontario. The National Catholic Broadcasting Council presents the Sunday TV Mass.

0:26 Welcome to the celebration of the Sunday TV Mass on the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time and World Mission Sunday. I am Monsignor David Rylander. The televising of this Mass is made possible by the contributions from three donors. The first are Beryl and Orin McCuster and Kimberly Deck from McCalgary, Alberta.

0:51 In loving memory of Frank and Patricia Govender, and for the deceased members of the family. May they rest in peace. The second is in memory of Anna Marie Zelensky from Edmonton, Alberta, who passed away on October 16th, 2024. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

1:22 The third is Teresa Chan from Thornhill, Ontario, who offers this Mass for her son Jason and daughter Candace, praying that they may return to God's loving embrace. Our thanks to our donors for the gift of this Mass. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

1:54 Amen and with your spirit. Coming before the Lord, let us offer our sorrow for sin. You were sent to heal the contrite of heart. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. You came to call sinners. Christ have mercy. You plead for us at the right hand of the Father to intercede for us. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy.

2:24 Almighty God have mercy on us. Forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting life.

2:31unknown Amen.

2:32 We join our praises in saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to people of goodwill. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory. Lord God, Heavenly King, O God Almighty Father, Lord Jesus Christ, only begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

3:06 You take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. You are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in the glory of God the Father. Amen. Let us pray. Almighty ever living God, grant that we may always conform our will to yours and serve your majesty in sincerity of heart, through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

3:48 God for ever and ever. Amen.

3:53 A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah. Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, and strip kings of their robes, to open doors before him, and the gates shall not be closed. For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name.

4:22 I surname you. Though you do not know me, I am the Lord, and there is no other. Besides me, there is no God. I arm you, though you do not know me, so that all may know from the rising of the sun and from the west that there is no one besides me. I am the Lord, there is no other. The word of the Lord.

4:59 Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Sing to the Lord of the earth, declare his glory among thy nations, his marvelous works among other peoples. Ascribe to the Lord and strength. For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He is to be revered above all gods, for all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.

5:58 Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the families of the peoples. Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory to his name. Bring an offering and carving to his courts. Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

6:44 A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians, from Paul, Sylvanus, and Timothy to the Church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace. We always give thanks to God for all of you and mention you in our prayers. Constantly remembering before our God and Father, your work of faith and labor of love, and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

7:20 For we know, brothers and sisters beloved by God, that He has chosen you because our message of the gospel came to you not in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. The word of the Lord.

8:58 The Pharisees went and plotted to entrap Jesus in what he said. So they sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that you are sincere and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth, and show deference to no one. For you do not regard people with partiality.

9:28 Tell us then what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor or not? But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, Why are you putting me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin use for the tax. And they brought him a denarius. Then he said to them, Whose head is this? And whose title? They answered, Caesar's.

10:13 Then he said to them, Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. The gospel of the Lord.

10:28 Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

10:39 Today is Mission Sunday around the world. The collection for today, the second collection, is for missions. Now, when we talk about missions, we need to distinguish what we're talking about. The missions we're talking about today are called ad gentis. They're foreign missions. Well, what other kind of missions are there?

11:17 Well, there are the missions that I look after as part of Catholic missions in Canada, and I look after home missions. Now the collection today is not about home missions, it's about foreign missions. And in the United States is our sister organization, the Catholic Extension Church of America. To be in mission is to be sent.

12:01 As Jesus sent the apostles to be his ambassadors, emissaries, apostles, and to bring the gospel to them. If we pause for a moment and think about what is the cost of that? Well, the direct cost is that the apostles put their lives on the line. Many of them were martyred, as we know. St. Paul, for existence, who we heard in the second reading.

12:47 And perhaps some of those who were with him, we don't know, the record doesn't show. Sylvanus and Timothy, Apollo, and others. But there is also a financial cost. Let me give you an example. If we take the example of Saint Paul, he went around the Mediterranean. That was a costly voyage. Who paid for transportation over the water and in other areas?

13:27 He just didn't get on a boat and go. Someone had to pay for that. So there are two things that are operative that really cannot be separated from each other. There is the mission itself, the proclamation of the gospel, the care and setting up of a community. There is also getting to the mission. And that's a financial cost.

14:06 Saint Paul wrote letters. That is another cost. You just simply can't get away from that. What do we find in the gospel today? Well, it's a question about finances. The Pharisees are trying to trap Jesus. Okay. Jesus? What do you think about taxes? But Jesus knows what they're trying to do. Well, show me a coin.

14:45 Who said it's on the coin? Caesars! So if he says support Caesar, there's going to be a problem. Well, if the head on the coin is Caesar, give to Caesar, what is Caesar's? Give to God. What is God? Well in the first reading we hear there is one God and none other. Therefore, what is God? What belongs to God?

15:29 We do. Our soul does. Mind, body, and soul, we belong to the Lord. He created us in his image and likeness. Give to the Lord what is the Lord. And that's us. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

16:10 He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

16:38 Amen. We offer our universal prayer. We pray for all those in our daily TV Mass Prayer Intention book. We pray to the Lord. Let us pray that during this month of the Rosary, families may gather in prayer, finding in it a source of strength, unity, and love for their daily lives. We pray to the Lord.

17:06 The Lord hear our prayer.

17:08 Let us pray for missionaries throughout the world that the Lord may fill them with zeal and strength for the proclamation of the gospel. We pray to the Lord. We pray for the success of the World Mission Sunday collection. We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer. Let us also remember our missions throughout Canada.

17:36 That the Lord may bless them. We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer. Heavenly Father, we give you thanks for hearing our prayers in the name of Christ your Son, who is our Lord forever and ever.

17:51 Amen.

19:26 Grant us, Lord, we pray, a sincere respect for your gifts, that through the purifying action of your grace, we may be cleansed by the very mysteries we serve through Christ our Lord. Amen. The Lord be with you and with your spirit. Lift up your hearts.

19:47 We lift them up to the Lord.

19:48 Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

19:51 It is right and just.

19:53 It is truly right and just our duty and salvation always and everywhere to give you thanks. Father most holy, through your beloved Son Jesus Christ, your word through whom you made all things, whom you sent as our Savior and Redeemer, incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin. Fulfilling your will and gaining for you a holy people, he stretched out his hands, as he endured his passion, so as to break the bonds of death and manifest the resurrection.

20:28 And so with the angels and all the saints we declare your glory, as with one voice we acclaim.

20:39 Holy Holy God of an I do fall of your glory, whose honour I thought blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, whose highest.

21:19 Make holy therefore these gifts we pray by sending down your spirit upon them like the do fall, so that they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his passion, he took bread and giving thanks, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my body, which will be given up for you.

21:55 In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice and once more giving. Thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying, Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.

22:16 Do this in memory of me. The mystery of faith.

22:41 For by your cross and resurrection, you have set us free.

22:52 Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the bread of life and the chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you. Humbly we pray that partaking of the body and blood of Christ we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.

23:13 Remember, Lord, your church spread throughout the world and bring her to the fullness of charity, together with Leor Pope, Francis, our bishop, and all the clergy. Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection, and all who have died in your mercy, welcome them into the light of your face.

23:35 Have mercy on us all. We pray that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with Blessed Joseph, her spouse, with the blessed apostles, and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages, we may merit to be co-heirs to eternal life and may praise and glorify you through your Son Jesus Christ.

23:58 Through him and with him and in him, O God Almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours forever and ever. At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say, Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, honor as it is in heaven.

24:33 Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray from every evil. Graciously grant peace in our days, that by the help of your mercy we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

25:10 Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles, Peace I leave you, my peace I give you. Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your church, and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will who live and reign forever and ever. Amen. Peace of the Lord be with you always and with your spirit.

25:31 Let us share that peace.

25:35unknown Amen.

26:19 Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb. Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof. But only say the word, and my soul shall be healed.

27:03 My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this holy sacrament of the altar. I love you above all things, and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul, so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen.

27:42 Let us pray. Grant, O Lord, we pray that benefiting from participation in heavenly things, we may be helped by what you give in this present age and prepared for the gifts that are eternal through Christ our Lord. Amen. The Lord be with you.

28:02 And with your Spirit.

28:03 Almighty God bless you, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Mass is sended, go forth to proclaim the word.

28:12 Thanks be to God.

28:16 Our thanks to our donors for the gift of this Mass.
