|a The call for a New Evangelization has many beginnings in the life of the Christian community. In this Thesis it is traced through the life of a group of Catholic lay leaders at Blessed Sacrament Parish, Brooklyn, NY who wanted a better life for their families and their community. Their search for a new way of living is highlighted and the reflections that motivated and orientated them are presented in an orderly way in the hope that others can find strength in the wisdom that they discovered in the Christian Tradition. The origins for a New Evangelization are traced from the call of Blessed John XXIII for Vatican II through the Pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI. Then four characteristics or values that should be present in the life of every Christian and their community are developed to help guide the lay leaders better respond to the four main social problems that were affecting the life of their community. They chose to focus on these problems in their pastoral work so that could offer hope where at times none seemed to exist. This wisdom guided the lay leaders as they struggled to live the message of the Gospel and become agents of social change in their community. This experience demonstrates that when a community is guided by the Gospel and Christian Tradition, its beliefs and values become incarnate. The community can then take the risks to become a catalyst for social change and shine through its social environment as a light that transforms the darkness of evil. |
