Often we will try to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but be discouraged by our results. This experience may dissuade us and shake our courage to evangelize.
For St. John Paul II, a central key to evangelization that we may be missing is a devotion to the Heart of Jesus.
He writes about this topic in his Letter on the 100th anniversary of the Consecration of the Human Race to the Divine Heart of Jesus.
In particular, he believed this devotion could help humanity understand the depth of God's love.
When we look upon Jesus and his Sacred Heart, we witness the love he has for all of us, a love that should permeate us and urge us to love others.
It is a love of the Good Shepherd that gives us the inspiration we need to be evangelizers of God's love.
If you want to be a more effective evangelist of the Gospel, look to Jesus' Heart and learn from him how to love others.
