A Letter from our President In September I attended the three-day international meeting in Vatican City on Pope Francis’ exhortation on the new evangelization, Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel).

The highlight of the conference was the talk by Pope Francis.

He quieted the audience with his humble presence, and his immediate and everyday language was compelling. He cautioned us against “clericalism”—looking down on the people we serve—and being too caught up in the institution, status, and rules of the Church. Instead he called us to preach and bear witness to the mercy of God. He reminded us of one of his favorite images of the church, a “field hospital” where all people who are suffering and wounded are welcome to come for healing, and he exhorted us to foster a church that is proximate and open and gives priority to the weak and poor. His concluding remarks were words of hope and encouragement—go about the work of evangelization with “patience and perseverance.”

I encourage you to read and reflect on The Joy of the Gospel. In this exhortation, Pope Francis encourages all Christians to embark on a new chapter of evangelization. He outlines a new vision for the Church, and he calls each local community to implement this vision according to its own culture and circumstance. This is exactly what we at RENEW are focused on as we develop our new pastoral process, Be My Witness: Formation for the New Evangelization and its Spanish counterpart, Sean mis testigos: Formación para la Nueva Evangelización. This twelve-session faith-sharing process engages parish staff, lay leaders, and parishioners in the New Evangelization.

In addition, we are delighted to be partnering with the American Bible Society to offer two versions of the Bible in English, the New Revised Standard Version and the New American Bible, as well as Dios Habla Hoy in Spanish.

If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to our monthly eNewsletter, World RENEW, in English, and its counterpart in Spanish, RENEW para el mundo.

Discipulado y justicia social

La justicia brota de la fe

Formación en la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia En español para hispanos

Por Allan Figueroa Deck, SJ “Es nuestro deber transformar el mundo a la luz del evangelio. ¡ La justicia brota de la fe es un tesoro que recomiendo con todo corazón para todos los seguidores de Cristo!”

—Timothy Matovina, MDiv, PhD, Professor of Theology and Executive Director of the Institute for Latino Studies, University of Notre Dame

La justicia brota de la fe es un proceso de formación para hispanos sobre el compromiso social y la íntima conexión entre la fe y el amor hacia el prójimo. Esta obra, en comunión con la Nueva Evangelización, promueve el desarrollo espiritual de todos los que anhelan profundizar la práctica de su fe en un ambiente tan desafiante como el de hoy.

Los dos libros del participante representan las creencias claves de la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia en el contexto de la Palabra de Dios y la diversidad de las experiencias vividas del pueblo hispano en los Estados Unidos. Dos libros de doce sesiones cada uno, conectan la fe y la vida con reflexiones, preguntas para compartir, oraciones, y ejemplos de las acciones a seguir. El Manual del Equipo Parroquial, la Guía para los animadores de pequeñas comunidades y otras herramientas que pueden bajarse vía web, son algunos de los recursos adicionales.

Priestly Life

Beyond My Wildest Dreams From Local Ministry to Worldwide Mission

By Thomas A. Kleissler

Beyond My Wildest Dreams is the memoir of Msgr. Thomas A. Kleissler, who co-founded RENEW, the first diocese-wide faith-sharing process in the United States. Under Msgr.

Kleissler’s leadership, RENEW International went on to touch the lives of millions of people all over the world.

Msgr. Kleissler begins his story with his own childhood, takes it through the origins of RENEW amid the social turbulence of the 1960s, and its unexpected growth. This is a dynamic story, filled with anecdotes about Msgr.

Kleissler’s travels as he and members of his staff spread the spirit of RENEW across six continents, helping people of many cultures put their Christian faith to practice in their everyday lives.

Beyond My Wildest Dreams is the remarkable story of Msgr. Thomas Kleissler, a man whose desire it was, as an ordained minister, to build God’s kingdom by connecting faith to people’s everyday lives. With a deep conviction that small-community experiences could transform parishes, the Church, and bring people closer to God, Msgr. Kleissler was the fire behind the RENEW movement.
