MESSAGE OF POPE FRANCIS FOR
WORLD MISSION DAY 2014
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Today vast numbers of people still do not know
Jesus Christ. For this reason, the mission ad gentes
continues to be most urgent. All the members of the Church
are called to participate in this mission, for the Church is
missionary by her very nature: she was born “to go forth”.
World Mission Day is a privileged moment when the
faithful of various continents engage in prayer and concrete
gestures of solidarity in support of the young Churches in
mission lands. It is a celebration of grace and joy. A
celebration of grace, because the Holy Spirit, sent by the
Father, offers wisdom and strength to those who are
obedient to his action. A celebration of joy, because Jesus
Christ, the Father’s Son, sent to evangelize the world,
supports and accompanies our missionary efforts. This joy
of Jesus and missionary disciples leads me to propose a
biblical icon, which we find in the Gospel of Luke (cf.
10:21-23).
1. The Evangelist tells us that the Lord sent the
seventy-two disciples two by two into cities and villages to
proclaim that the Kingdom of God was near, and to prepare
people to meet Jesus. After carrying out this mission of
preaching, the disciples returned full of joy: joy is a
dominant theme of this first and unforgettable missionary
experience. Yet the divine Master told them: “Do not
rejoice because the demons are subject to you; but rejoice
because your names are written in heaven. At that very
moment Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said: ‘I give
you praise, Father...’ And, turning to the disciples in private
he said, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you see’” (Lk
10:20-21, 23).
Luke presents three scenes. Jesus speaks first to his
disciples, then to the Father, and then again to the disciples.
Jesus wanted to let the disciples share his joy, different and
greater than anything they had previously experienced.
2. The disciples were filled with joy, excited about
their power to set people free from demons. But Jesus
cautioned them to rejoice not so much for the power they
had received, but for the love they had received, “because
your names are written in heaven” (Lk 10:20). The
disciples were given an experience of God’s love, but also
the possibility of sharing that love. And this experience is a
cause for gratitude and joy in the heart of Jesus. Luke saw
this jubilation in a perspective of the trinitarian
communion: “Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit”, turning to
the Father and praising him. This moment of deep joy
springs from Jesus’ immense filial love for his Father, Lord
of heaven and earth, who hid these things from the wise and
learned, and revealed them to the childlike (cf. Lk 10:21).

God has both hidden and revealed, and in this
prayer of praise it is his revealing which stands out. What is
it that God has revealed and hidden? The mysteries of his
Kingdom, the manifestation of divine lordship in Jesus and
the victory over Satan. God has hidden this from those who
are all too full of themselves and who claim to know
everything already. They are blinded by their
presumptuousness and they leave no room for God. One
can easily think of some of Jesus’ contemporaries whom he
repeatedly admonished, but the danger is one that always
exists and concerns us too. The “little ones”, for their part,
are the humble, the simple, the poor, the marginalized,
those without voice, those weary and burdened, whom
Jesus pronounced “blessed”. We readily think of Mary,
Joseph, the fishermen of Galilee and the disciples whom
Jesus called as he went preaching.
3. “Yes, Father, for such has been your gracious
will” (Lk 10:21). These words of Jesus must be understood
as referring to his inner exultation. The word “gracious”
describes the Father’s saving and benevolent plan for
humanity. It was this divine graciousness that made Jesus
rejoice, for the Father willed to love people with the same
love that he has for his Son. Luke also alludes to the similar
exultation of Mary: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the
Lord, and my spirit exults in God my Savior” (Lk 1:47).
This is the Good News that leads to salvation. Mary,
bearing in her womb Jesus, the evangelizer par excellence,
met Elizabeth and rejoiced in the Holy Spirit as she sang
her Magnificat. Jesus, seeing the success of his disciples’
mission and their resulting joy, rejoiced in the Holy Spirit
and addressed his Father in prayer. In both cases, it is joy
for the working of salvation, for the love with which the
Father loves his Son comes down to us, and through the
Holy Spirit fills us and grants us a share in the trinitarian
life.
The Father is the source of joy. The Son is its
manifestation, and the Holy Spirit its giver. Immediately
after praising the Father, so the evangelist Matthew tells us,
Jesus says: “Come to me, all you who labor and are
burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you
and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and
you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy and
my burden light” (Mt 11:28-30). “The joy of the Gospel
fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those
who accept his offer of salvation are set free from sin,
sorrow, inner emptiness and loneliness. With Christ joy is
constantly born anew” (Evangelii Gaudium, 1).
The Virgin Mary had a unique experience of this
encounter with Jesus, and thus became “causa nostrae
laetitiae”. The disciples, for their part, received the call to
follow Jesus and to be sent by him to preach the Gospel (cf.
Mk 3:14), and so they were filled with joy. Why shouldn’t
we too enter this flood of joy?
4. “The great danger in today’s world, pervaded as
it is by consumerism, is the desolation and anguish born of
29th Sunday in Ordinary Time
a complacent yet covetous heart, the feverish pursuit of
frivolous pleasures, and a blunted conscience” (Evangelii
Gaudium, 2). Humanity greatly needs to lay hold of the
salvation brought by Christ. His disciples are those who
allow themselves to be seized ever more by the love of
Jesus and marked by the fire of passion for the Kingdom of
God and the proclamation of the joy of the Gospel. All the
Lord’s disciples are called to nurture the joy of
evangelization. The Bishops, as those primarily responsible
for this proclamation, have the task of promoting the unity
of the local Church in her missionary commitment. They
are called to acknowledge that the joy of communicating
Jesus Christ is expressed in a concern to proclaim him in
the most distant places, as well as in a constant outreach to
the peripheries of their own territory, where great numbers
of the poor are waiting for this message.
Many parts of the world are experiencing a dearth
of vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated life.
Often this is due to the absence of contagious apostolic
fervor in communities which lack enthusiasm and thus fail
to attract. The joy of the Gospel is born of the encounter
with Christ and from sharing with the poor. For this reason I
encourage parish communities, associations and groups to
live an intense fraternal life, grounded in love for Jesus and
concern for the needs of the most disadvantaged. Wherever
there is joy, enthusiasm and a desire to bring Christ to
others, genuine vocations arise. Among these vocations, we
should not overlook lay vocations to mission. There has
been a growing awareness of the identity and mission of the
lay faithful in the Church, as well as recognition that they are
called to take an increasingly important role in the spread of
the Gospel. Consequently they need to be given a suitable
training for the sake of an effective apostolic activity.
5. “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 a material offering can become a means
for the evangelization of humanity built on love.
Dear brothers and sisters, on this World Mission
Day my thoughts turn to all the local Churches. Let us not
be robbed of the joy of evangelization! I invite you to
immerse yourself in the joy of the Gospel and nurture a
love that can light up your vocation and your mission. I
urge each of you to recall, as if you were making an interior
pilgrimage, that “first love” with which the Lord Jesus
Christ warmed your heart, not for the sake of nostalgia but
in order to persevere in joy. The Lord’s disciples persevere
in joy when they sense his presence, do his will and share
with others their faith, hope and evangelical charity.
Let us pray through the intercession of Mary, the
model of humble and joyful evangelization, that the Church
may become a welcoming home, a mother for all peoples
and the source of rebirth for our world.
