Keeping the celebration of the Pauline Year in mind, Pope Benedict's message for the 95th World Day of Migrants and Refugees focuses on the efforts of St. Paul to “make Jesus loved and known by all.” In the message released today, the Holy Father calls on Catholics to learn from St. Paul’s example by preaching the Gospel message to all, especially to migrant people.
The Pope’s letter, with the theme of "St. Paul Migrant, Apostle of the Peoples," has been published in English, French, Italian, Spanish and German for the World Day of Migrants, which will be celebrated on January 18, 2009.
