On Spreading the Good News and Defending the Faith

“In a meeting last year with Church leaders involved in the New Evangelization, Pope Benedict XVI said, ‘Today’s world needs people who proclaim and testify that it is Christ who teaches the art of living, the way of true happiness, because he himself is the path of life.’

“‘Dear friends, being evangelizers is not a privilege but a commitment that comes from faith,’ the Holy Father continued. ‘To the question the Lord addresses to Christians: ‘Whom shall I send and who will go for us?’, answer with the same courage and the same trust as the Prophet: ‘Here am I! Send me’ (Isaiah 6:8).’

“While some are called to be missionaries in foreign lands, for most of us, evangelization of inactive or non-Catholics begins in our own homes and communities. CWR recently spoke with five prominent Catholic evangelists, who offered suggestions to Catholics on ways they can evangelize those they encounter day-to-day.”
