Recently at the post office I found myself short on change. Although I had brought a couple of dollars for postage, the actual cost was closer to four dollars.  I therefore completed the transaction with my debit card.  On my way back, I encountered an older fellow moving along slowly with the help of a walker on the other side of the street.  I don’t know whether he was homeless, but he had that well-weathered look about him.  

As discussed in Our Role Together with You in The New Evangelization: Part One, the Church’s New Evangelization encourages increased evangelism as a catalyst for renewal. This new kind of evangelism emphasizes “building bridges” rather than walls. An area of focus “re-evangelizing” the baptized, sharing the faith with those who have suffered what Pope Francis has called the “troubling loss of the sense of the sacred”.
