Dear Parishioners,

Each week Monsignor William Fay, the Archdiocesan Director

of the Propagation of the Faith, writes an article in The Pilot, our

Catholic weekly newspaper. This week he presented the first five of

ten things that Pope Francis wants us to know about evangelization.

Next week, as we bring our summer days to a conclusion, we will

offer you the remaining five things which come from Kevin Cotter

of Catholic University. They are as follows:

1) Everyone is meant to evangelize. Every Christian is

challenged, here and now, to be actively engaged in

evangelization. Indeed, anyone who has experienced God’s

saving love, does not need much time or lengthy training to go

out and proclaim that love.

2) Want authentic personal fulfillment? Evangelize. When the

Church summons Christians to take up the task of

evangelization, she is simply pointing to the source of

authentic personal fulfillment. For here we discover a profound

law of reality that life is attained and matures in the measure

that it is offered up in order to give life to others. This is

certainly what mission means.

3) Evangelization starts with our own relationship with Jesus.

The spread of the Gospel is not guaranteed either by the

number of persons or the prestige of the institution or by the

quantity of available resources. What counts is to be permeated

by the love of Christ, to let one’s self be led by the Holy Spirit

and to graft one’s own life on to the tree of life, which is the

Lord’s Cross.

4) We must witness the truth with our lives. If you happen to

be with an atheist who tells you that he does not believe in

God, you can read him the whole library where it says that God

exists and where it is proven that God exists, and he will not

believe. However, if in the presence of this same atheist you

witness to a consistent Christian life, something will begin to

work in his heart. It will be your witness that brings him from

the restlessness on which the Holy Spirit works.

5) An evangelizer must be joyful. Consequently an evangelizer

must never look like someone who has just come back from a

funeral. And may the world of our time, which is searching

sometimes with anguish, sometimes with hope, be enabled to

receive the good news not from evangelizers who are dejected,

discouraged, impatient or anxious, but from ministers of the

Gospel whose lives glow with fervor, who have first received

the joy of Christ.

These words come directly from Pope Francis. Nos. 1, 2 and 5

from his Apostolic Document “Evangelii Gaudium” (the Joy of the

Gospel” and Nos. 3 and 4 from homilies, one of July 2, 1013, the

other on February 27, 3014.

Next week we will present the last five things that Pope Francis

wants us to know about evangelization.

Sincerely,

Fr John R. Mulvehill

From the Deacon’s Bench

The Family

There is no perfect family. There is no healthy marriage or

healthy family without the exercise of forgiveness. Without for-

giveness the family gets sick. The family has to be a place of life

and not death; a territory of healing of disease; a stage of for-

giveness and not of guilt.
