Today we feel we are heirs of Jesus’ missionary mandate. The new evangelization is not "new" (meaning it is no innovation for the Church): today, just like yesterday, He sends us through the paths of the world to proclaim the Gospel to all the peoples of the world (cf. Mt 28:19). The Church is always "missionary"!

“Caritas Christi urget nos” (2Cor 5:14): the love of Christ fills our hearts and urges us to evangelize. Through his love Jesus attracts men of all generations to Himself: at all times He convokes the Church and entrusts the Gospel’s announcement to it with an always new mandate. Today a more convincing ecclesial commitment is also needed in favor of a "new evangelization" to rediscover the joy of believing and to find again the enthusiasm of spreading the faith.

- Faith grows when we live it as a love which we receive and spread as an experience of grace and happiness.
