“For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!” (1 Cor 9:16)
Every Catholic has a sacred duty to evangelise: to share in the fruitfulness of Christ by handing on to others the grace we ourselves have received. Yet in a world so saturated by secularism, it can feel increasingly difficult to articulate our faith in the ordinary course of our lives. We need not minimise the real threat that sharing our faith can pose to our social standing or even our professional flourishing. But against that temporal danger stands an eternal one: the possibility of damnation for the people to our right and left.
