Evangelization

What do you think of when you hear the word "evangelization"? The idea of sharing our faith can make us feel unconfortable. We are relaxed with the idea of witnessing to our faith if this means being good or kind or helpful. In many ways actions do speak louder than words.

However, eventualy, when witnessing to our faith, we need to be prepared to share with others the reason for our hope. It is then that the idea of evangelization becomes more uncomfortable. We don't want to impose. We too easily assume that people do not want to hear about God, the promises of Christ or the Sacraments. The truth is people are hungry and thirsty to hear and a lot more open and interested than we give them credit for.

Lord, we look to Mary as the model evangelist. She always invites us to come and meet her Son and listen to him. May we play our part, too.
