Introduction: Joy

Through six themes in his exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, an unexpected pope invites us to join him on a unique mission: Bring the good news of Jesus to the needy.

Chapter 1: Longing

The longing for God is innate in everyone — this is what we were made for, to be in relationship with God.

Chapter 2: Closeness

We must be close to people’s lives: “enter fully into the fabric of society”; lead “wonderfully complicated lives.”

Chapter 3: Dignity

Every person, regardless of worldly accomplishments, is worthy of our giving.

Chapter 4: Weariness

When we go to the margins, we must be honest about how it affects us, transforming our fatigue into an ever-deepening outreach that is energizing and compassionate.

Chapter 5: Tenderness

Francis uses this word a lot, talking about how it characterizes his interactions with others and about how it might characterize ours.

Chapter 6: Mary

For Francis, the Mother of Evangelization remains an ever-present model of Christian discipleship.

Conclusion: Courage

What have we done for Christ, what are we doing for Christ, and what will we do for Christ?
