Friendship with Christ
Michael Dopp of Mission of the Redeemer Ministries (www.missionoftheredeemer.com) was asked in an interview about the New Evangelization and its meaning.
He said, “Pope Paul VI said that the Church evangelizes when she seeks to convert. We have forgotten what a beautiful gift conversion is. And so in the busyness of doing lots of good things, we forget that the most important is leading people into deep friendship with Christ.
But the good news is this: for those who do realize the meaning of the New Evangelization, that is, that it is the re-evangelization of the baptized, they can refocus both their lives and their contributions to the Church in such a way that it invites people to this eternal friendship with God.”
This very day use a moment to share Jesus with someone. Make a difference in their day.
