Sean Cardinal O'Malley explains why evangelization is at the heart of our faith and that there is a mandate to share the Gospel with the world. Passing on the faith is not an option but an imperative.

Drawing upon the scriptures, philosophy, and literature, he illustrates how this passing on the faith is ultimately God's enterprise.

This is it. Everything that we've been through during this last year has led to this moment. We're all a little traumatized by the things that we've seen and done, but at least we're still here. Not many others can say that. I'm not the same girl that I was when I caught that first whiff in the school courtyard, and I never want to be seen as that weak again. On the other hand, I've seen sides of my guys that I didn't even know they were capable of exhibiting. We all have pieces of ourselves that we'd like to keep hidden, apparently.
