GO AND TELL
In this Jubilee Year dedicated to St. Paul, we are reminded of the urgency to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the world. There can be no slackening or stagnation in the essential mission of the Church to evangelise all people. Today there are countless people thirsting for hope and love who are still waiting for the proclamation of the Gospel.
The Gospel is a life changing communication that gives hope. Without Christ, humanity is without hope because it is without God. God is the great hope that sustains the whole life. The love of God for us prods us to missionary activity. Evangelisers must drink from the original source, which is Jesus Christ. It is from his pierced heart that the love of God flows. Only from this source can care, tenderness, compassion, hospitality, availability and interest in people’s problems be drawn.
