Papal message for Migrant Sunday calls on all to make a better world for all
VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis’s message for the 100th World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2014 was themed “Towards a Better World”.
“Our societies are experiencing, in an unprecedented way, processes of mutual interdependence and interaction on the global level. While not lacking problematic or negative elements, these processes are aimed at improving the living conditions of the human family, not only economically, but politically and culturally as well. Each individual is a part of humanity and, with the entire family of peoples, shares the hope of a better future. This consideration inspired the theme I have chosen for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees this year: Migrants and Refugees: Towards a Better World.
