Pope John Paul II invited Catholics to engage in the New Evangelization. It is new because it focuses on evangelizing (sharing the good news of Jesus Christ) those you encounter in your daily life through ordinary witness to the blessing of living as a disciple and steward of Jesus Christ in His family the Catholic Church.
