Please don\u2019t let this, once a year, golden opportunity slip away easily.<\/p>\n<p>In order to succeed, we must first have a goal.\u00a0 <strong>For us Christians, our ultimate goal and greatest mission in life would be expanding God\u2019s Kingdom on earth.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 The first step is to instill hope of the Risen Christ in people\u2019s lives, and then, step by step, guide them to establish a real and personal relationship with Christ.\u00a0 During this Lenten season, let us fix our gaze on the paschal candle, which symbolizes the Good News of salvation and resurrection.\u00a0 Let Christ, who is the True Light, lead us on the path of personal sanctification and to becoming a true evangelizing community!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Why should we evangelize as a community rather than as individuals?<\/p>\n<p>Let us focus back on the image of the Service of Light, the Lucernarium, at the Easter Vigil.\u00a0 Yesterday, we mentioned that in the Service of Light, the priest&#8217;s candle was first lit by the paschal candle, followed by the candles in the hands of the faithful next to him. Thanks to everyone&#8217;s participation, the light is spread to every member of the congregation in the entire church. Assuming that each church member passes the light onto two persons: one to two, two to four, four to eight, eight to sixteen, and so forth. In this way, if it takes ten seconds to light a candle, lighting the candles of more than 500 people doesn&#8217;t take two minutes. If this candle-lighting responsibility were placed on the priest alone, even if it takes him only five seconds to light a candle, the whole process of lighting everyone\u2019s candle would take more than 40 minutes! Even the most devout churchgoer won&#8217;t be able to stand it!<\/p>\n<p>This example illustrates the reason why we need to evangelize as a community.\u00a0 This is also the main reason why our Lord Jesus Christ first called His disciples before He started His public ministry, and later on built the Church.<\/p>\n<p>We need to understand that only through exponential growth can the Kingdom of God be established and grow healthily in this world, and only in this way can we resist and counter the spread of evil forces in the world and the invasion of individuals, families, communities, and churches by dark forces.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Blockquote&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fold&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In the face of the chaotic situation in this world, and the state of spiritual and mental dryness of mankind, such as feeling lost, hopeless, disoriented, even suffering from depression or anxiety, etc., our only solution and way out is to unite and take responsibility together.
