Evangelization
: proclaiming
the good news
Quality of proclamation
depends on our
relationship with God: we
cannot proclaim what we
do not know
Worship
 is the practice of
putting God at the center
of our lives

God’s will: love God, love our neighbors
Vertical and horizontal relationships present in the Ten
Commandments and the Beatitudes
Old Testament: The palms of the poor are the living altars
on which we make our offering to God
Charity: Statement about the goodness of God and
goodness of the world He created; we mimic the
generosity of the Creator

The Eucharist: God’s enduring presence
(Deus Caritas Est)
The sacrament has a social nature
Around the table of Christ, there is no rich or
poor; we are in union with all for whom He died
He draws us into His act of sacrifice
Love of God and love of neighbor are thus joined
God comes to us as food to continue his work in
us and through us
 
“A Eucharist which does
not pass over into the
concrete practice of
love is intrinsically
fragmented.”
(Pope Benedict XVI, Deus
Caritas Est no. 14)
