Pope John Paul II defined evangelization as “the Church’s effort to proclaim to everyone that God loves them, that He has given Himself for them in Christ Jesus, and that He invites them to an unending life of happiness.” He reminded us by word and example that “Jesus Christ is the definitive answer to the question of the meaning of life and to those fundamental questions which still trouble so many men and women.” The essential mission of the Church is to proclaim this message. Today, in a world of great diversity and pluralism, this mission is all the more pressing. Entrusting Herself to the Virgin Mary, the Church depends on the primacy of grace and power of the Holy Spirit to go forth to all the nations and bring the light of Christ to the world.
