Electronically mediated relationships can never take the place of the direct human contact required for genuine evangelization. For evangelization always depends upon the personal witness of the one sent to evangelize (cf. Rom 10:14-15). Pope John Paul II

“We have experienced the grace of a new Pentecost. There are many signs of hope which have flourished for the mission of the Church” among which are “the discovery and the appraisal of charisms … the renewed zeal for evangelisation and the advancement of lay people.” Pope John Paul II, 1 March 1999, address to  Pontifical Council for the Laity

"Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to carry out everything I have commanded you. And know that I am with you always, until the end of the world" (Matthew 28:19-20).

"In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is coming to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and kingly power, I charge you to preach the word, to stay with the task whether convenient or inconvenient - correcting, reproving, appealing - constantly teaching and never losing patience" (2 Timothy 4:1-2).

"Come, Holy Spirit, come and renew the face of the earth! Come with your seven gifts! Come, Spirit of Life, Spirit of Communion and Love! The Church and the world need you. Come, Holy Spirit, and make ever more fruitful the charisms you have bestowed on us. Give new strength and missionary zeal to these sons and daughters of yours who have gathered here. Open their hearts; renew their Christian commitment to the world. Make them courageous messengers of the Gospel, witnesses to the risen Jesus Christ, the Redeemer and Saviour of man. Strengthen their love and their fidelity to the Church."
Pope John Paul II May 30 1998
