In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus commissions his Apostles and all Christians to “Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them….and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” This commission extends to all of us through our baptism. Evangelization is not just for extroverts or other religions; we are all called to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. In fact, we are here today because the 12 Apostles evangelized!

One simple way to evangelize is to invite someone to Mass or a parish event. Never under estimate the power of a personal invitation. Many people have returned to Mass, joined a Bible study or RCIA because of a simple invitation from someone they knew.

Come Holy Spirit, fill us with the courage to share our faith with others!
