Q
Evangelising is necessary so that people are able to come to know
Jesus and be saved.
Evangelising should also be about sharing the Good News
especially with the poor and sick, who are most often overlooked
by the world – these should be the people Catholics should
evangelise first.
Evangelising also means caring for the needs of the poor and the
sick – caring for their bodies as well as their souls.
The Church gives a special place to the poor – (the preferential
option for the poor) Evangelising is about sharing the love of Jesus with those who do
not know about it.
