The Mission: Mission Prayer in Action - Missional (Matthew 6:9-13)
The Jesuits' mission embodied the Lord's Prayer: hallowing God's name among unreached peoples, kingdom coming in jungle communities, God's will done in indigenous culture, daily bread shared with converts, forgiveness extended to former enemies, protection sought from temptation to violence, deliverance from colonial evil. Missional theology sees the Lord's Prayer as mission prayer: "Our Father"—we pray with all peoples; "Your kingdom come"—we work for it; "On earth"—we engage contexts. Mission is Lord's Prayer enacted: praying it, then living it among the nations.
