Brothers and sisters, good morning!
When it comes to the Gospel and the mission to evangelise, Paul is enthusiastic, he comes out of himself. He seems to see nothing other than this mission that the Lord has entrusted to him. Everything in him is dedicated to this proclamation, and he has no interest other than the Gospel. It is Paul’s love, Paul’s interest, Paul’s profession: to proclaim. He even goes so far as to say: ‘Christ did not send me to baptise, but to preach the Gospel’ (1 Cor 1:17). Paul interprets his whole existence as a call to evangelise, to make Christ’s message known, to make the Gospel known: “Woe to me”, he says, “if I do not preach the Gospel” (1 Cor 9:16). And writing to the Christians of Rome, he presents himself simply as follows: “Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, an apostle by calling, chosen to proclaim the Gospel of God” (Rom 1:1). This is his vocation. In short, he is aware that he has been “set apart” to bring the Gospel to all, and he cannot but devote himself with all his strength to this mission. (Catechesis 3)
