Heavenly Father, Pour forth your Holy Spirit to
inspire me with these words from Holy Scripture. Stir in my soul the
desire to renew my faith and deepen my relationship with your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ so that I might truly believe in and live the
Good News. cc: Waiting For The Word - https://www.flickr.com/photos/60532802@N07
Open my heart to hear the Gospel and grant me the confidence to
proclaim the Good News to others. Pour out your Spirit, so that I might
be strengthened to go forth and witness to the Gospel in my
everyday life through my words and actions.

In moments of hesitation, remind me:
If not me, then who will proclaim the Gospel?
If not now, then when will the Gospel be proclaimed?

If not the truth of the Gospel, then what shall I proclaim?

God, our Father, I pray that through the Holy Spirit I might hear the call of the
New Evangelization to deepen my faith, grow in confidence to proclaim the
Gospel and boldly witness to the saving grace of your Son, Jesus Christ, who
lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen. - Courtesy of USCC

An evangelization campaign can be a coordinated series of social media
communications that give witness to the Gospel in my everyday life through my words, images, and engagement with others. In the
words of Rev. Steven Rosica, It is a new way of telling the old story of people of today. It’s a
bridge, an outreach; it’s a new lens, a new perspective. It is about forming online
relationships with others.
