Misyjne impulsy papieża Franciszka
Missionary inspirations from pope Francis

Summary/Abstract: Pope Francis' encyclical letter Lumen fidei and apostolic adhortation Evangelii gaudium both contain very important remarks about the missionary nature of the Catholic Church. Among them is the pope's assertion that mission belongs to Christianity's very nature: communities of Christians grow through reaching out to others. Evangelii gaudium teaches that followers of Christ must proclaim love, therefore they must be missionaries. The Church should overcome her institutional limitations and become constantly engaged in mission; mission not only to those who do not yet know Christ, but also those who have somehow relaxed their attachment to Him. Pope Francis asks the whole community of believers to proclaim the Good News with enthusiasm and joy and make it more visible in the modern world.
