I am a Christian because
I have been loved deeply
and unconditionally by
Christians.
“
All the baptized, whatever their position in the Church or their level of
instruction in the faith, are agents of evangelization, and it would be
insufficient to envisage a plan of evangelization to be carried out by
professionals while the rest of the faithful would simply be passive
recipients. The new evangelization calls for personal involvement on the
part of each of the baptized. Every Christian is challenged, here and now,
to be actively engaged in evangelization… Every Christian is a missionary to
the extent that he or she has encountered the love of God in Christ
Jesus…So what are we waiting for?”
Evangelii Gaudium, – Pope Francis
