Vatican City (Agenzia Fides) - On Tuesday, January 6, the Holy Father Francis recalled that the Solemnity of the Epiphany is also the World Day of Missionary Childhood – one of the Pontifical Mission Societies that is especially geared to harnessing the zeal of children for spreading the Good News of salvation. These are his words: "It is a celebration of children who live with joy the gift of faith and pray that the light of Jesus might reach all the children of the world. I encourage educators to cultivate in little ones the missionary spirit, so that there may arise from among them witnesses of the tenderness of God and announcers of his love".
