The urgent character of evangelization

And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.  ~Luke 1:39

"The evangelization, which always has a character of urgency, in these times drives the Church to step with an even faster pace on the roads of the world, to bring every man to knowledge of Christ. In fact only in the Truth, which is Christ himself, can humanity discover the meaning of its existence, find salvation, and grow in justice and peace. Every man and every people has a right to receive the Gospel of truth."  ~Pope Benedict, Address to Directors of the Pontifical Missionary Works, 5/11/12

Dear Mary, first evangelist of the Lord, help us to rise with you and go in haste into the cities of our lives to proclaim the Gospel of truth, Jesus Christ, the Light and Life of the World. With you and like you, may we forever magnify the Lord.  Amen.  Alleluia!
