Summary:
There are two general calls in the Christian life: to be holy, and to evangelize. One cannot exist without the other, for to be holy means, in part, to tell people about Jesus Christ and the salvation He won for us. Both of these calls are urgent! We can often be tempted to avoid our call to evangelize, using various excuses. Don’t fall prey to these temptations! Nothing can disqualify you from this urgent mission!
