What does the word “Evangelion” mean?

 

 

Hello! Welcome to my website !
It’s dedicated to information on the topic of EVANGELIZATION.
Here you will find challenging exercises in the knowledge of the Bible and evangelization, and of the Catholic Church’s official teaching on the subject. I am also including compositions digital copies of the papal documents of the past half-century, for your reference and easy copying. Open them up, see if they are of any use to you personally.

Page One:  Study material

 

 

Evangelization from the Scriptures   Each section begins with a passage from Holy Writ, then a short reflection and then “What say you?”, questions you can use either in personal study or in a group setting.  Try it, if you wish!

 

  Evangelization and Holy Scripture This Power Point Presentation could be used to teach  the study above by the same name, to a group of students.

 

Evangelization from the Magisterium  This is a 30-day  self-study (which could also be done in a small group) of the major papal documents on EVANGELIZATION.   Each day includes a direct quote from the Magisterium (the official teaching of the Church), then asks you to write down your reflection on the subject. Then  you pick out  a Scripture quote  and write a brief prayer of you own.  It’s like a month-long retreat!  Try your hand!

 

Evangelization  from the Magisterium The power point presentation helps teach a study course based on the Word document of the same name and title.

Evangelization: our work, our vocation, our joy  The Power Point Presentation could be used to share the Catholic Church’s teaching on EVANGELIZATION to a group of students.

The Parish Evangelization Team    Some notes on the formation of an Evangelization Team working together in the parish: process, Mission Statement, and more.

 

The Parish Evangelization Team This Power Point Presentation illustrates graphically some of the elements that compose a team of parishioners working together on Evangelization.

 

Evangelization in the Parish his is from Robert S. Rivers, C.S.P., From Maintenance to Mission, the very best book I have found on practical evangelization on the parish level.  Read the book, then use this Power Point Presentation to share it with others in your parish.

 

Evangelization - the Parish- This Presentation goes with the above "Evangelization - Essential Mission, by Robert S. Rivers, C.S.P.  Very good...!

 

Page Three: Evangelization Workshop

 

Workshop-Evangelization  This 80-page Word document takes the recent  papal documents on  EVANGELIZATION  and rearranges thems into ten topics: Jesus Christ – Conversion – The Church – Communion – Bishops & Parishes – Ecumenism – Solidarity – Humanity – Charity.  Look it over, you will find here material for a very interesting Workshop on the topic of EVANGELIZATION.

 

Evangelization Workshop  This Powerpoint Presentation takes the above-mentioned papal documents on  EVANGELIZATION  and rearranges these eight pronouncements into ten topics: Jesus Christ – Conversion – The Church – Communion – Bishops & Parishes – Ecumenism – Solidarity – Humanity – Charity.  Look it over, you will find here material for a very interesting Workshop on the topic of EVANGELIZATION.

 

 

Page Four:  Some compositions of my own

 

ConfEVOLUTION   Here I express my deepest convictions on the subject of the  Lordship of Christ.  It was the Divine and Anointed  Son of God through whom God the Father made this material world, created the human species, redeemed him from sin and death…etc, etc.  From beginning to end.  It’s not long, read it, meditate on it.  It  forms my every theological thought!

 

EvVisPrayer This is the prayer which we here at St. Joseph Church in York, PA use to close out our home visits.

 

 

LmatrPrayer  This is the prayer which I pray for each newly-wed couple who have celebrated the Sacrament of Matrimony here in the parish.

 

 

Page Five: Church History

 

Church – State – Saints – Islam  This  composition goes through twenty centuries of Catholic Church history, compares century-by-century what was going on in the Church,  the State, what Saints lived them, and the activities of Islam.

 

Ch-St-Sts-Islam This Excel spreadsheet graphically shows what was happening in the Church, the State, the Saints and Islam at any given time in Church History.

 

Page Six:  The Book of Revelation (Apocalypse)

 

ConfApocalypse  Here you find a short, 15-page study of the Book of Revelation.  You might want to read this before entering into a more serious study of this book of the Bible.

 

Apoc – Revelation  This is a Power Point Presentation corresponding to the above  document on this book of the Bible.  You may want to use it for teaching.

 

Apoc-Table  This  is a table-outline of the Book of Revelation.
