Łagodność jako metoda ewangelizacji

Abstract

In this article the author presents the gentleness as one of the methods of evangelization which the Church carries out in the modern world. Gentleness, which today has been somewhat forgotten, can serve to the effectiveness of Christian witness. It is a virtue that stands out and exceeds the servant of Christ from people who do not know the truth of the Gospel. Its importance is emphasized by the authors of both old and new-testament. In the New Testament it is often linked to the ministry of preaching. Gentleness is a characteristic of God the Father and Jesus Christ and it is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Its value in human relationships is inestimable. Evangelization taken by the Church should be gentle in its method. On the other hand, a gentle man evangelizes just by their way of life. Gentleness evangelizes and is a method of evangelization, which is accomplished not by words only, but by certain attitude, which becomes a much stronger testimony.
