THE HEART OF EVANGELIZATION
“Make disciples of all nations…” -Jesus Christ (Mt 28:19)
In our post-Christian culture, it is mission critical that all Catholics are empowered to become missionary disciples of Jesus Christ. Since we cannot give what we do not have, this era of evangelization requires disciples to not only know about God but to intimately know God personally. People appreciate physical and mental health, but our world is desperate for spiritual health, and the Church offers the cure. The Heart of Evangelization is a 2-3 talk series centered on Jesus Christ, fostering an intimate spiritual life, and practically forming missionary disciples.
- What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, and what is a missionary disciple?
- What is the Gospel, how can I live it, and how can I share it?
- What are the steps of conversion, and how can I accompany others on their faith journey?
- How can I experience an intimate and fulfilling relationship with God?
- Is there more to prayer than just saying memorized words? What is the purpose of prayer?
- What do the spiritual masters of the Church’s tradition teach about the depths of prayer?
- What are practical methods to foster the spiritual health of myself and others?
“The purpose of our lives is to reveal God to men. … There is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel, by the encounter with Christ. There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him and to speak to others of our friendship with Him. – Pope Benedict XVI, Inaugural Papal Mass Homily
“Jesus Christ loves you; he gave his life to save you; and now he is living at your side every day to enlighten, strengthen, and free you.” – Pope Francis

“The great mystical tradition…shows how prayer can progress, as a genuine dialogue of love, to the point of rendering the person wholly possessed by the divine Beloved, vibrating at the Spirit’s touch, resting filially within the Father’s heart. It is a journey totally sustained by grace, which nonetheless demands an intense spiritual commitment and is no stranger to painful purifications (the ‘dark night’). But it leads, in various possibly ways, to the ineffable joy experienced by the mystics as ‘nuptial union.’” – Pope St. John Paul II
