What is Evangelization? What is Radical Hospitality?
Two weeks ago, I shared our family mission along with our top two priorities for the coming year. The question I have been asked is: what do I mean by evangelization and radical hospitality. This week I will speak to Evangelization, and next week on Radical Hospitality.
Evangelization is the sharing of the Good News (Gospel) of Jesus Christ with others. That means we share with other people why our faith and relationship with Jesus is important to us. Think of it this way. If we are excited about a relationship with a significant other, newly-wedded spouse, new child, best friend, or meet someone we idolize don’t we tell everyone about it? Invitations, gatherings or just bragging? Shouldn’t we do that about Jesus? He encounters our offering salvation, transforming lives and showing love, mercy and acceptance. That should excite us just as much, which means we want to tell the world!
I would hope this means we share why our parish communities are important with other people. More importantly, this means we invite others to join us at mass.
An invitation goes a long way. Ask someone to join us at mass or for any of our upcoming events. Remember, CCBN is a place to encounter and grow with Jesus! As we enter our fall programming, make sure our family mission is on your
calendar and if you have someone you want to introduce to Jesus, stay tuned for our Alpha opportunity beginning in October.
Keep smiling,
😊 Fr. Bryan
