Missionary Pope Calls Catholics to Preach the Gospel and Bring all Nations to Jesus

[Michie]

"The mission ad gentes (to the gentiles, or unbelievers) should be, also today, the constant horizon and paradigm of every ecclesial activity, because the very identity of the Church is constituted by faith in the Mystery of God, who revealed himself in Christ to bring us salvation, and by the mission to witness and proclaim him to the world, until his return. Like St. Paul, we should care for those who are far away, those who still do not know Christ and have not experienced God's paternity."

Is the Pope saying we as Catholics have forgotten that when we leave Mass that we are to head out into the world as the Church militant and preach the Gospel? Why would we as Catholics need reminding???

I like to pray the rosays as I walk through town. Other than that I am not at home "evangelising". Having had a secular upbringing my conscience is a little apprehensive about faith issues. However (I hope) God has a way for us all.
