Description
Summary:Spirit-filled evangelizers is the title of the fifth chapter of Pope Francis’ apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium. The article reflects on the so-called spiritual postulates of evangelization which are found in this part of the Pope’s exhortation. The text of the article is divided in three parts. In the first part, we briefly examine the terms of evangelization and missionary activity of the Church through the historical development of papal thought form Pope Paul VI, through John Paul II and Benedict XVI, to Pope Francis. Along the same lines, in the second part, we examine the idea of evangelization in the thought of Pope Francis through the prism of continuity and novelty regarding his predecessors. The third part of the article brings our main topic, the discourse on the Spirit-filled evangelizers where we select three spiritual postulates of evangelization suggested by Pope Francis: openness to the Holy Spirit, communion with Mary and the conditional-consequential topic of the joy of the fruitful proclamation of the Gospel.
