The battle for the soul of humanity is on and we cannot be like generals sleeping on duty. One of the battle-fields is the social media. The social media can be manipulated by the Evil One to destroy uncountable souls but it can also be ceased upon by the children of God, the clergy and lay faithful alike to accomplish the Great commission: "Go ye therefore and proclaim the Gospel to all nations." (Mt. 28:19). It is in the social media that our culture is spending its time and Priests as well as all who take Christ's mandate seriously should meet them there with the Good News. Vincent Donovan gave an important definition of evangelization. He said, "Evangelization is the process of bringing the Gospel to the people where they are, not where you would like them to be." According to Pope John Paul III, "While the world of social communications may at times seem at odds with the Christian message, it also offers unique opportunities for proclaiming the saving truth of Christ to the while human family."
