We are going into the mind and heart of our Founder, Frank Padilla, and learning even more about the Charism of Missionary Families of Christ.
What is the best way to do that? By going through all of his 52 books.
We are going to discuss one book a week over the course of a year. We encourage you to watch, and share these videos. If you have read the books, you don’t need to watch. If you have not read the book, you must watch. It is the way to get into our Charism more.
THE NEW EVANGELIZATION: A WORK OF THE DIVINE FAMILY
Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI have sounded the call to the New Evangelization. It is a very urgent call. It is a call that recognizes the massive assaults on the faith during these times, and the onslaught of the tsunami of evil that is overwhelming the whole world.
Now evangelization is not new. It is 2,000 years old. The Holy Spirit came down on Pentecost and the disciples of Jesus went on to evangelize the world. But after 2,000 years, the world is once again in darkness. What happened?
Many Christians and Christian nations have succumbed to the deadly isms of the times—modernism, relativism, secular hedonism, materialism, consumerism, cultural Marxism. They have lost sight of the authentic Christian life. They are no longer witnesses to Christ in the power of the Spirit.
The situation in the world has become critical. Faith has grown cold. The whole Church needs to rediscover the true meaning of evangelization, according to God’s principles. The way forward is the way of Pentecost, and the missionary spirit we see in the history of the early Church. Unless we put on the mind and heart of God in this work, we will end up just doing more of the same, and continue to lose territory to the enemy.
We are in the end times, and how we respond will be crucial to preparing the bride of Christ for the coming of the Bridegroom. So now we go on an exciting journey, discovering the riches of the Spirit’s prophetic call to the New Evangelization. Let us be on our way.
