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 />
