Evangelizing is to the Church what breathing is to a person. 

Every great civilization has concerned itself with this question: How is the best way to live? The rigor with which a person or culture approaches this question is very telling. It is of disturbing importance to note that the present culture has virtually no interest in pursuing this question. Today we are more interested in how we want to live than we are in discovering the best way to live.

In our quest to discover the best way to live, we discover three universal principles:

1. You are here to become the best version of yourself.
2. Virtue is the ultimate organizing principle, whether it is in a person’s life, one’s marriage, or the life of a nation.
3. It is better to live with self-control than without it.

Jesus’s answer to how the best way to live was, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind . . . and love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 26:37-39)
