Jesus, why do I want to evangelise, to announce the Good News of the Kingdom? Why do I want to dedicate the whole of my life to spread your Gospel to the ends of the earth? Why do I want to preach the Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth and consecrate myself to prayer and Ministry of the Word? Why evangelise, and for what?
Because I want to “...to bring the news to the afflicted, to soothe the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, release to those in prison...” (Is 61:1-2).
So that “the blind see again, and the lame walk, those suffering from virulent skin-diseases are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life and the good news is proclaimed to the poor...” (Mt 11:4-6).

Because I long to change hate into love, sadness into joy, anguish and despair into optimism and hope, sickness and death into life and resurrection.

Because I am eager to see light dawn on gloomy faces, and into so many mournful hearts that lie in the shadow of death.

Because I want to give direction and meaning to so many paralysed lives, lives that are bored and lethargic, with doubts and suspicions, empty and broken by disabling complexes.

Because I see the urgent need for the Gospel to reach to the ends of the earth; to break the chains of those enslaved, crushed and oppressed by lack of culture, faith, even food and shelter.

I want to inject with my own blood those who, in this delirium, renounce life and bury themselves alive. And shout to them all with the powerful voice of the Gospel “Get up and live!”

I feel a passion to give the Gospel, alive and raw, to restless and rebellious young people who, dissatisfied and unconforming, protest against everything. I want to give them the sword of the Truth as their defence and armour. And to those of them, who renounce on life I want to shout with the powerful voice of the Gospel “Young person, get up!”

A beautiful landscape is ready to be born, horizons radiant with light and hope, a new heaven and a new earth, when the Good News reaches this youth and informs their lives. I sincerely believe that it is not a fantasy nor a distant contemplation seeing the fields ripen for the harvest.

Why evangelise? Because I long for families to enjoy the warmth of a loving home, instead of the atmosphere almost of a cemetery, without even the embers of a fruitful and creative love, intimacy, affection, care, spontaneity and joy.

I can't stop proclaiming the Good News of liberation in order to save the lives of millions of children whose lives I see broken and disintegrated as soon as they open their eyes to the light or even in the very womb of their mothers.
I am compelled to announce the Good News of the Kingdom of God, Kingdom of peace and justice, Kingdom of life and love, to stop the relentless war between nations and races, the painful conflicts between children and parents.

Then, their children would be like “new olive shoots around their table” (Ps 128:3), and their hearts would “overflow with more joy than for abundant corn and new wine” (Ps 4:8).

I feel the need to give my life and pour out my blood for all people equally, regardless of sex, race and social condition.

Jesus, only your Gospel possesses the strength and power necessary to transform the misery that today corrupts these environments into the energy which generates abundant life. I know that with the Gospel the light of day will penetrate many homes which were in darkness.

That's why I can say, without any fear of being pretentious or of it being an abstract or unreasonable theory, that evangelising is for me a duty and a right, a joy and a complete and now irreversible dedication, as impossible for me to leave, as it would be for me to renounce living and renounce the fact that my brothers and sisters may have life and have it to the full.
