  6. We’re Not Done! “While the Rediscover initiative begins in this Year of Faith, it is not intended to close with it in November 2013. Instead, I want to see this comprehensive program — designed to reach out and invite, in particular, our fellow Catholics to rediscover a real and personal relationship with Jesus and, indeed, re-engage in the full life of the Church — become a way of life for us in this local Church. Our Lord expects no less from us if we are to call ourselves Christians and truly live out, in an authentic way, a life of Christian discipleship.” Archbishop John C. Neinstedt (emph. mine) Uncompromising Holiness Visible Community Active Evangelism

  7. Where Are We Headed? “Our own experience demonstrates the need for a New Evangelization; how many of our own family members and friends have not yet come to a living relationship with Jesus united to His Body, the Church? Our culture needs a living witness to God’s love in Christ! What has to become an essential part of our identity as a Catholic is the proclamation of Christ Jesus. We must become evangelists in thought and in action.” Archbishop John C. Neinstedt (emph. mine) “So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Mt 5:48) “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.” (Jn 15:12) “…that they may all be one…that the world may believe that you sent me.” (Jn 17:21) “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations…” (Mt 28:19)
