Today we will conclude the series dedicated to apostolic zeal, in which we have allowed the Word of God to inspire us, to help nurture a passion for the proclamation of the Gospel.
In the last catecheses we saw that the proclamation of the Gospel is joy, it is for everyone, and it is addressed to today.
The last few times we saw that Christian proclamation is a joy, and it is for everyone; today we will see a third aspect: it is for today.
After having seen, last time, that the Christian proclamation is joy, today let us focus on a second aspect: it is for everyone, Christian proclamation is a joy for everyone.
During today's General Audience, Pope Francis reflected the evangelizing aspect of joy and how an encounter with Jesus always brings joy.
Pope Francis reflected on the witness of St. Josephine Bakhita and how she experienced inner liberation despite enduring cruelty as a slave.
