In this interview of the Sunrise Morning Show, Father Frank Donio, S.A.C. of the Catholic Apostolate Center unpacks Pope Francis's apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, and explores what it means to effectively proclaim the Gospel today. Fr. Frank demystifies the concept of missionary discipleship, emphasizing that evangelization is not an exclusive duty for clergy or professional religious figures, but a universal call for all baptized laypeople to share their faith through everyday, authentic relationships. The conversation delves into the vital practice of spiritual accompaniment, cautioning against letting these personal connections devolve into self-absorbed therapy sessions or unwittingly supporting people in self-destructive directions. Ultimately, the discussion serves as a grounded and inspiring reminder that sharing the love of Christ requires patience, active commitment, and the courage to lovingly guide others toward true freedom in God.
