Go and Make Disciples - Matthew 28:19
We all have - and are - stories of faith, for through the Spirit, the Gospel of Jesus Christ takes hold of us in the proclamation of his Word, and Jesus touches us in the celebration of his sacraments. When this genuinely happens, we are all set ablaze by his love.
-- USCCB pastoral "Go and Make Disciples"
Evangelization is the proclamation of Christ and his Gospel by word and the testimony of life, in fulfillment of Christ's command.
-- Catechism of the Catholic Church
Presentation of the goals:
To bring about in all Catholics such an enthusiasm for their faith that, in living their faith in Jesus, they freely share it with others.
To invite all, whatever their social or cultural background, to hear the message of salvation in Jesus Christ so they may come to join us in the fullness of the Catholic faith.
To foster gospel values in our society, promoting the dignity of the human person, the importance of the family, and the common good of our society, so that our nation may continue to be transformed by the saving power of Jesus Christ.
