Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 10:7-15






*Friends, in our Gospel today, Jesus sends the Apostles on a mission of
evangelization, a mission that we continue today.We Catholics cannot avoid
the demand of evangelization, of proclaiming the faith. Vatican II couldn’t
be clearer on this score, seeing the Church itself as nothing but a vehicle
for evangelization. According to Vatican II, it’s not so much the case that
the Church has a mission, but rather that a mission has the Church.
Bringing people to Christ is not one work among many; rather, it is the
central work of the Church, that around which everything else we do
revolves. Do we need evangelization? The statistics couldn’t be clearer.
Did you know that the fastest-growing "religious" group in the United
States is the "nones"—that is, those who claim no religious affiliation? In
the latest Pew Research Center survey, fully 25 percent of the country—80
million people—say that they have no formal religion. When we focus on
young people, the picture is even more bleak. Almost 40 percent of those
under thirty are nones, and among Catholics in that age group, the number
rises to 50 percent. Of all the Catholic children baptized or confirmed
these last thirty years, half no longer participate in the life of the
Church.We need evangelization more than ever before. Will you answer the
call?*
