Devotion of the day: spread your faith

1. Importance of the propagation of the faith. By giving us the Gospel, Jesus wanted it to be spread throughout the world: Docete omnes gentes, to communicate the benefit of His redemption to all men. But how many millions of idolaters, Mohammedans, Jews, unbelievers, heretics still have to be converted! And therefore, how many souls will be lost in hell! Don't you feel pity for them? Can't you save at least one?

2. Faith spreads with the word. Perhaps you are not a missionary, nor a religious woman to leave for the Missions ... But in your home, cannot you convince some unbeliever or indifferent person of some error against the faith? Is it not possible for you to educate someone ignorant in the faith or to gently correct others? Is it not easy for you to exhort anyone to join the Work of the Propagation of the Faith or the Missionary Press? And if you can't do more, pray for the Missionaries so you cooperate in their Missions.

3. Faith spreads with offerings. Every time you help, with money, an institute, a house, an education society for poor children, you spread the faith among them. By associating yourself with the Holy Childhood, or the holy work of the Propagation of the Faith, with one lira a week, you cooperate in the Baptism of thousands of children, you help the Missionaries, transport them among the infidels, build their churches, and therefore help thousands of souls to save themselves. Are you associated with it? Do you at least make an offering on mission day?

PRACTICE. - Three Pater and Ave for the conversion of the infidels. Associate with some Institutions for the propagation of the faith.
