Initiated by Pope John Paul II, the New Evangelization is a fresh vision of preaching the Gospel for the third millennium.  Distinct from classical evangelization which seeks to bring the message of Christ to those who have not yet heard it, the New Evangelization is new in ardor, new in methods and new in expression.  This New Evangelization focuses first on deepening the faith and commitment of those already baptized, and calling them into a more profound relationship with the Lord.  It also aims at calling home Catholics who have left the Church or are not practicing their faith.  The New Evangelization also calls us to engage and re-evangelize the modern culture, bringing to it the Gospel values.  Finally, the New Evangelization focuses on using modern means of technology and communication in the work of proclaiming the Gospel.  For those of us in the Church, then, the New Evangelization means learning about our faith; deepening our spiritual lives; inviting others to the same encounter with Christ, particularly through the sacraments; and brining our Catholic beliefs to bear in the secular realm.
