EVANGELIZATION

The Primary Mission of the Church

What is Evangelization?

The simplest way to say what evangelization means is to paraphrase Pope Paul VI’s message On Evangelization in the Modern World:

• Bringing the Good News of Jesus into every human situation and seeking to
• Convert individual and society by the divine power of the Gospel it self. Its essence is the
• Proclamation of salvation in Jesus Christ and the
• Response of a person in faith, both being the work of the Spirit of God

Why do we Evangelize?

We must evangelize because the Lord Jesus commanded us to because

• Salvation is offered to every person in him.
• People must be brought to the salvation Jesus the Lord offers in and through the Church
• Jesus commanded us to evangelize to bring enlightenment and life people from error
• We have experienced the love of Christ; we want to share it.

Where does Evangelization Happen?

The Holy Spirit is the fire of Jesus. The Spirit, the first gift of the Risen Christ to his people, gives us both the ability to receive the Gospel of Jesus and, in response, the power to proclaim it. We proclaim it:

In the Life of the Church

• By the way we live God’s Love in our daily life.
• By the love, example, and support people give each other.
• Through the proclamation of the Word and the whole-hearten celebration of the saving deeds of Jesus.

In Sharing the Gospel with Others

• By reaching out to those who do not have a faith community and to invite them to consider the power of the Gospel of Jesus.
