"There are no borders, no limits: he sends us to everyone. The Gospel is for everyone, not just for some. It is not only for those who seem closer to us, more receptive, more welcoming. It is for everyone. Do not be afraid to go and to bring Christ into every area of life, to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent. The Lord seeks all, he wants everyone to feel the warmth of his mercy and his love." - Pope Francis.
New Evangelization is the Catholic Church's response to changes in our society during the past decades. The Church is now called to bring the love and mercy of God in an environment that is not always receptive.
