4.49 Što je to nova evangelizacija?
Crkva je od samog početka slala ljude na misiju naviještanja evanđelja, Riječi Božje po cijelom svijetu. Sam je Isus svim krštenim vjernicima naložio da propovijedaju evanđelje svima, koji ga žele poslušati (Mk 16,15)Mk 16,15:I reče im: “Pođite po svem svijetu, propovijedajte evanđelje svemu stvorenju.”. Kršćani to mogu ponajprije učiniti po načinu na koji žive svoj život.
Papa Ivan Pavao II. pozvao je na novu evangelizaciju usmjerenu na sve ljude, koji još ne poznaju Isusovo evanđelje ili koji više nemaju živu vjeru.

The Wisdom of the Church
How is the Good News spread?
From the very beginning the first disciples burned with the desire to proclaim Jesus Christ in order to lead all to faith in him. Even today, from the loving knowledge of Christ there springs up in the believer the desire to evangelize and catechize, that is, to reveal in the Person of Christ the entire design of God and to put humanity in communion with him. [CCCC 80]
This is what the Popes say
“God so loved the world that he gave his only Son” (Jn 3:16). Jesus, sent by the Father to mankind, communicates the abundance of life to every believer (cfr. Jn 10:10)... His Gospel must become ‘communication’ and mission. The missionary vocation summons every Christian; it becomes the very essence of every testimony of concrete and living faith. It is a mission which traces its origins from the Father’s plan, the plan of love and salvation which is carried out through the power of the Spirit, without which every apostolic initiative is destined to failure. [Pope John Paul II, Message for the IX and X World Youth Day, 21 Nov. 1993]
