SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:THE DIVINE POWER OF THE MESSAGE \nBy St Pope Paul VI3 \n◊◊◊ \nFor the Church\, evangelizing means bringing the Good News into all the \nstrata of humanity\, and through its influence transforming humanity from within \nand making it new… But there is no new humanity if there are not first of all new \npersons renewed by Baptism and by lives lived according to the Gospel. The \npurpose of evangelization is therefore precisely this interior change\, and if it had \nto be expressed in one sentence the best way of stating it would be to say that the \nChurch evangelizes when she seeks to convert\, solely through the divine power \nof the Message she proclaims\, both the personal and collective consciences of \npeople\, the activities in which they engage\, and the lives and concrete milieux \nwhich are theirs. \nWith regard to the strata of humanity which are to be transformed: for the \nChurch it is a question not only of preaching the Gospel in ever wider geographic \nareas or to ever greater numbers of people\, but also of affecting and as it were \nupsetting\, through the power of the Gospel\, the popular criteria of judgment\, \ndetermining values\, points of interest\, lines of thought\, sources of inspiration and \nmodels of life\, which are in contrast with the Word of God and the plan of \nsalvation. \nAll this could be expressed in the following words: what matters is to \nevangelize human culture and cultures (not in a purely decorative way as it were \nby applying a thin veneer\, but in a vital way\, in depth and right to their very \nroots… taking the person as one’s starting-point and always coming back to the \nrelationships of people among themselves and with God. \nThe Gospel\, and therefore evangelization\, are certainly not identical with \nculture\, and they are independent in regard to all cultures. Nevertheless\, the \nKingdom which the Gospel proclaims is lived by people who are profoundly \nlinked to a culture\, and the building up of the Kingdom cannot avoid borrowing \nthe elements of human culture or cultures. Though independent of cultures\, the \nGospel and evangelization are not necessarily incompatible with them; rather \nthey are capable of permeating them all without becoming subject to any one of \nthem. \n  \n3 Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Nuntiandi\, nn 18-20.7 \n  \n
