Abstract
In this paper I would like to focus on the relationship existing between the
Christian Mysteries of Creation, Trinity, Incarnation, Paschal Mystery and Redemption,
and the Mission.
Christian Mysteries have got their origin in God. They belong to the same
universal plan of salvation tat God offered to the humanity through his only son in the
power of the Holy Spirit. Though each one of these mysteries has got its own specificities,
they have a common goal; to lead humanity to enter in communion of love with the
Triune God. Indeed each one can be fully understood in the light of the otters. Even
though human person, being limited cannot grasp these mysteries in their fullness.
I will try to explain and show how these mysteries are related to the mission. How
they are the source and foundation of mission. How they bestow on mission its
significance and value.
In the first chapter. I deal with the mystery of creation as God's action and its
relation to man. He has got some roles and duties to fulfill in order to preserve God's
creation and bring it to fulfillment. The Church being the steward of God's mission on
earth has to continue God's plan in creation.
In the second chapter, I focus on the Blessed Trinity and the Divine missions of
the Son and the Holy Spirit. Then I shall link this Trinitarian mission to the mission of the
Church; and how Church's mission has her origin and goal in the Blessed Trinity
In chapter three, I present the Christological mysteries; Incarnation, Paschal
Mystery and Redemption as foundation of mission. I will explain how the mission of the
Church is rooted in the Christological mysteries and the implications they have for the
Church's mission.
