Catholicism The New Evangelization: Disc 1 and 2

Plot

Chapter/Lesson One: “Introduction”

What is the New Evangelization?”, Why is it worthwhile?” and “How does one do it?” Father explains how the concept of a “new” evangelization began to take shape in the second Vatican Council. Later, Pope John Paul II called for new ardor, new expressions and new methods to reach out to an increasingly secular culture, especially in the West. This calling is not just the responsibility of the Church at large; it is also the responsibility of each individual Catholic who has been baptized into a “missionary vocation.”



Chapter/Lesson Two: “New Ardor”

New enthusiasm, new energy and renewal from the Holy Spirit constitute “new ardor.” Today, we need a new passion for the mission of Jesus Christ. Bishop Barron takes us behind the scenes at World Youth Day to show us energetic examples of new ardor. The deepest source of Christian ardor is the resurrection, which fuels us to actively reach out in love to others with the “Good News.”
