In the
Mission Sunday Message of 2014 the Holy Father, Pope Francis says: “God loves a cheerful giver’ (2 Cor 9:7).
World Mission Day is also an occasion to rekindle the desire and the moral
obligation to take joyful part in the mission ad gentes. A monetary
contribution on the part of individuals is the sign of a self-offering, first
to the Lord and then to others; in this way material offerings can become means
for the evangelization of humanity built on love.”
