New evangelization

The new evangelization refers to the renewed effort by baptized Catholics to manifest the universal call to evangelization inherent in the Christian faith. This movement reaffirms that every Christian is called, by the very act of baptism, to live out and spread the Gospel in accordance with Jesus Christ’s Great Commission to make disciples of all nations, teaching all Christ's commands to all (cf. Mt 28:6–12)

The Second Vatican Council emphasized this teaching together with the universal call to holiness since the very fact of baptism, which configures one to Jesus Christ, makes the Christian another Christ, the holy redeemer of all men. It taught that the Christian vocation by its very nature is also a vocation to the apostolate.^[1]
