Preach the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel
“The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners;” Isaiah 61:1
But he said to them, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose.” Luke 4:43
And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations; and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14
But when they believed Philip, who was proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 8:12
Then Philip began to speak, and starting with this scripture, he proclaimed to him the good news about Jesus. Acts 8:35
But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he was passing through the region, he proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea. Acts 8:40

Pope St. John Paul II. “In SONG, faith is experienced as joy, love, and confident expectation of the saving intervention of God.” “It is not enough to discover Christ-you must bring Him to others! The world today is one great mission land, even in countries of longstanding Christian tradition.” “…you must put aside any fear in order to take Christ to the world. What a wonderful beginning, to make a mighty effort to transmit the teaching and the love of Christ to all who will listen, especially to those who for some reason have wandered away or have been alienated from the Church…”
