The new Evangelization is founded on the person of Jesus Christ and His gospel -- a clear proclamation that, in Jesus Christ --salvation is offered to all, as a gift of God's grace and mercy." It is not a matter of merely passing on doctrine but rather of a personal and profound meeting with the Savior." This is not new in the Church's proclamation. However, Pope St John Paul II constant emphasis and exaltation of Jesus Christ as Lord is very significant for the Church at this time in history. With so many wonderful treasures we can be, it seems, distracted from the pearl of great price. Christ is that pearl of great price. Missionary activity is a matter for all Christians. This gospel message must be experienced as "good news" in each of our lives. The message of the Gospel must to be heard, understood, and proclaimed. We are to be trained and released into the service of Evangelization as missionaries of the new Evangelization. The Holy Spirit as the principal agent of Evangelization and mission is calling all of God's people to enter the harvest fields. Become the "good news!”
