Sharing the Gospel as Youth Missionaries | Dcn. Bob Rice, PhD | Franciscan University Presents

This homily emphasizes that Christian evangelization is a "team sport," likening the Church to a unified athletic team with a shared mission and vision. Drawing from Luke's Gospel, where Jesus sends out 72 disciples, the sermon highlights that all Christians are called to active participation in spreading the Gospel and demonstrating Christ's love, rather than being passive believers. Just as a championship team requires credible leadership, a strong team identity, and adherence to established rules, the Church, led by God the Father as owner, Jesus as manager, and the Pope as coach, must work cooperatively with different roles but one goal to achieve its urgent mission of global salvation. The ultimate purpose is for every Christian to be a "missionary disciple," actively engaged in sharing the good news and living out Christ's teachings to "win the salvation of the world."

CATHOLIC MILITARY LIFE is a podcast of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS). The AMS was established as an independent archdiocese by Pope Saint John Paul II in 1985 as the only Catholic jurisdiction responsible for endorsing and granting faculties for priests to serve as chaplains in the U.S. military and VA Medical Centers. AMS-endorsed priests serve at more than 220 U.S. military installations in 29 countries, making the AMS the nation's only global archdiocese. AMS-endorsed chaplains also serve at 153 VA Medical Centers throughout the U.S. The AMS service population also includes American Catholic civilians working for the federal government in 134 countries, but currently, due to limited resources, the AMS cannot adequately serve this population. Worldwide, an estimated 1.8 million Catholics depend on the AMS to meet their spiritual and sacramental needs. For more information on the Archdiocese for the Military Services, visit www.milarch.org, the only official website for Catholics in the U.S. Military.
