The Church…[is] a community of people, animated by the Holy Spirit, who have lived and are living the wonder of the encounter with Jesus Christ and want to share this experience of deep joy, the message of salvation that the Lord gave us. It is the Holy Spirit who guides the Church in this path.

Faith Fact: The word evangelize comes from the Greek verb evangelizō, which means “I proclaim good news,” and the Greek noun evangelion, which means “a message of good news," just as when we evangelize, we present the Good News but don't impose it (for that would take away free will).
