Wezwanie do nawrócenia i misji w Ecclesia in Europa Jana Pawła II
Call to conversion and mission in John Paul II Ecclesia in Europa

Summary/Abstract: The Church has to offer Europe the most precious of all gifts, a gift which no one else can give: faith in Jesus Christ, the source of the hope that does not disappoint; a gift which is at the origin of the spiritual and cultural unity of the European peoples and which both today and tomorrow can make an essential contribution to their development and integration.Ecclesial communities in Europe are struggling with weaknesses, weariness and divisions. They need to hear anew the voice of Jesus Christ, who invites them to conversion, spurs them on to bold new undertakings and calls forth their commitment to the great task of the new evangelization. Serving the Gospel of hope by means of a charity which evangelizes is the commitment and the responsibility of everyone. Whatever the charism and ministry of each individual, charity is the royal road prescribed for all and which all can travel: it is the road upon which the whole ecclesial community is called to journey in the footsteps of its Master. The whole Church is sent on mission.
