What is
Evangelization and how does it involve you?
Evangelization means
bringing the GOOD NEWS to all persons. It means sharing our
experience of living the Gospel and walking with others in their
efforts to do the same. Evangelization may be a call to ongoing
spiritual growth and renewed conversion, or a call for
reconciliation. It is the call to help others know Christ and thus
experience a new life. FCCW is committed to the
evangelization of Our Lady of
Guadalupe, which Pope John Paul II proclaimed the "model of
evangelization" for
the Americas in a prayer at the Basilica of Our Lady of
Guadalupe in January, 1979.
The spiritual life is a
continuous process (journey) that begins at the time of our baptism.
It is nurtured as we experience our everyday lives in union with
Christ. When we gather together in community with others of faith,
we fulfill Jesus' promise that "where two or more are gathered in my
Name, there am I in their midst." (Matt 18:20) At the "Wisdom
of Women" Conference following the National Conference of Catholic
Bishops in Alexandria, Virginia in 1991, they noted, "WOMEN will
have a vastly more important role in shaping SPIRITUALITY."
The Fellowship of
Catholic Christian Women seeks to help women grow in their faith
and relationship with God. The task of evangelization does not rest
just with the leadership of FCCW; reaching out to others in a
spirit of love and spiritual connection is each one's
responsibility. Please consider how you might evangelize the GOOD
NEWS through joining or beginning a Fellowship of Catholic
Christian Women in your own parish.
