Evangelization

‘Follow Me,’ says The Lord, and Become ‘Fishers of Men’

January 26, 2020 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Miraculous Draught of Fishes, fishers of men

Fishers of men must be courageous, enterprising, and persistent. Although there may seem to be little to catch, the nets must be persistently cast again and again.

A Modern Parable about Authentic Evangelization

August 11, 2019 by Brandon Harvey Leave a Comment

Crowd of people

Evangelization is about more than simply going out and giving witness to Jesus Christ. For any evangelization to be effective, it must be backed up by a sound structure of liturgy and catechesis at the parish level.

There’s No Need To Be Intimidated By Evangelizing Others

January 23, 2019 by Isaac Arellano Leave a Comment

St. Paul in prison

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation” (Mk. 16:15). When I used to read that verse, I would tend to think it was directed to only the early church, only for the clergy, or only for those holier than I. But St. Paul taught me otherwise.

Christmas and Evangelization: Why did Jesus come and why do Christians go?

December 24, 2018 by Brandon Harvey Leave a Comment

Merry Christmas

Like the shepherds, we encounter Christ in a very personal way at every Mass–especially in the Eucharist. Yet it is not enough to simply and passively receive this great gift with joy. Joy naturally is received and shared. The full meaning of Christmas and its encounter with the Christ-child moves us to become evangelists, that such an immense joy might be shared with all.

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
