Church, her divine breath, the wind in her sails, the principle of her unity,
the inner source of her light and strength, her support and consoler, her
source of charisms and songs, her peace and her joy, her pledge and prelude

needs fire in her heart, words on her lips, prophecy in her outlook. . . . The
Church needs to rediscover the eagerness, the taste and the certainty of
the truth that is hers.”

With the help of the Holy Spirit, parishes that foster this renewal of
faith and the formation of evangelizers can transform the world. Living as
missionary disciples, therefore, is a way of being Church. The evangeliza-
tion principles offered in this resource can provide pastoral leaders with
ways to respond with new “ardor, expressions, and methods” that will form
and send missionary disciples.
