Pope Francis’ apostolic exhortation The Joy of the Gospel (Evangelii Gaudium) calls for a joyful proclamation of the Gospel to the entire world. The songs on this playlist have been selected to help you explore the themes of the New Evangelization and what Pope Francis describes as “missionary discipleship.”

This playlist will help create a prayerful setting for each gathering of Be My Witness: Formation for the New Evangelization, produced by RENEW International. Created by OCP in partnership with RENEW, the playlist includes twenty-two songs that reflect themes of Be My Witness to enhance the prayer that begins each gathering.
