msgFrame:SetWidth(1)
msgFrame:SetHeight(1)
msgFrame:SetPoint("CENTER")
msgFrame:SetFrameStrata("TOOLTIP")
msgFrame.text = msgFrame:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY", "GameFontHighlight")
msgFrame.text:SetPoint("CENTER")
msgFrame.text:SetText("Hello World")

If you just want to quickly display some info you could use:
Code:
message("Hello World")
or you could remove creating a separate frame and just create a FontString from UIParent:
Code:
local text = UIParent:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY", "GameFontHighlight")
text:SetPoint("CENTER")
text:SetText("Hello World")
