Evangelization is for All Ages<br />

My brothers and<br />

sisters in Christ,<br />

as summer comes<br />

to a close and we prepare<br />

ourselves for the first day<br />

of classes, we typically prepare<br />

mentally. Whether it<br />

is the first day of middle<br />

school or your first year in<br />

high school or your first<br />

year in college, you also<br />

need to prepare on a spiritual<br />

level.<br />

And so, you might ask:<br />

how do I prepare for a new school<br />

year?<br />

You will probably buy new<br />

clothes, supplies, books, or maybe<br />

even a new computer or iPad.<br />

These are the things we do to prepare<br />

ourselves for a task that we are<br />

about to take on in our lives.<br />

How do you prepare yourselves<br />

to evangelize for Jesus Christ? How<br />

did the apostles prepare themselves<br />

some 2000 years ago to evangelize?<br />

Jesus tells them in Matthew<br />

28:19 “go therefore, and make disciples<br />

of all nations, baptizing them<br />

in the name of the Father, and of<br />

the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,<br />

teaching them to observe all that I<br />

have commanded you. And behold,<br />

I am with you always, until the end<br />

of age.” Jesus gives them mission he<br />

tells them to “go and make.”<br />

This message or this commandment<br />

of Jesus Christ was not just<br />

for the 12 apostles but for every<br />

one of every age and especially the<br />

youth in today’s world. It is very<br />

important to take the word of God<br />

to your peers and the people who<br />

are of your own age. I know you’re<br />

probably saying to yourself ‘I will<br />

be an outcast’, ‘they will make fun<br />

of me’, ‘they might bully me or they<br />

might call me a Jesus freak.’ Well,<br />

they did all those things to our<br />

Lord and savior, so who are we not<br />

to do that for the kingdom? The<br />

call to evangelize is not limited to<br />

the Pope, bishops, priest, or deacons,<br />

this call is for every baptized<br />

Christian to go out and spread the<br />

good news of the gospel.<br />

So, what do we do to prepare<br />

ourselves to evangelize? The first<br />

thing that must be done is prayer.<br />

We must pray to the Holy Spirit<br />

that He will open our minds and<br />

hearts and guide us into all truth.<br />

Second, we must read<br />

scripture; start with just a<br />

few verses each day. And<br />

finally, you need to trust,<br />

and I mean fully trust and<br />

have confidence in Jesus<br />

Christ. He tells us hundreds<br />

of times in the Bible<br />

“do not be afraid.” So, go<br />

out talk about Jesus. Tell<br />

everyone what great things<br />

he has done for you, show<br />

them why he came, tell<br />

people about Catholicism<br />

and how it was the one church that<br />

Jesus Christ founded. Tell them<br />

how the secular world and media is<br />

lying to us about abortion, same sex<br />

marriage, etc. The fullness of truth<br />

lies in the Catholic church only. If<br />

you are not good with preaching in<br />

words then preach your good works<br />

or in your good deeds that you do<br />

The first thing that<br />

must be done is<br />

prayer. We must<br />

pray to the Holy Spirit<br />

that He will open<br />

our minds and<br />

hearts and guide<br />

us into all truth.<br />

for other people. Treat everyone<br />

with gentleness, kindness, and love<br />

and then everyone will know you<br />

are disciples of Jesus Christ.<br />

My brothers and sisters in<br />

Christ, St. Paul says in Galatians<br />

2:20, “It is no longer I that live but<br />

Christ who lives in me.” If Christ<br />

truly lives in you then you will be<br />

on fire for Jesus, the Gospel, and<br />

the truth.<br />

In Christ Jesus<br />
