A quote from Pope Francis:

“Our meeting today is a missionary response in obedience to Christ’s instruction: ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved.’ And I am particularly content that this mission of yours will be carried out thanks to Christian families who, joined together in a community, have the mission of giving the signs of the faith that attract men to the beauty of the Gospel. … To those non-Christians who have never heart of Jesus Chris, and the many non-Christians who have forgotten who Jesus Christ was, who He was: non-Christians who have been baptized but have forgotten their faith on account of secularization, worldliness and many other things. Let us reawaken that faith!”

“Therefore, even prior to the word, it is your witness of life that demonstrates the heart of Christ’s revelation: that God loves man to the extent of delivering Him to death, and that He was resurrected by the Father to give us the race of offering our life to others. How much solitude, how much suffering, how much distance from God there is in many peripheries of Europe and America, and in many cities of Asia! How great is humanity’s need, in every latitude, to hear that God loves us and that love is possible!”

— Audience with members of the Neocatechumenal Way, March 6, 2015
