The
second "work" of the community, and its second pillar is
communicating the Gospel. The Gospel itself is indeed the good news we can
share with other people, the precious treasure, the light which cannot be
hidden. The Gospel is not a possession: it is a responsibility for the
members of the community to communicate the Good News to others. We are
called to share it. In Sant'Egidio's experience being disciples and living
and sharing the Gospel are synonymous. It is an experience of joy and
celebration, as in the gospel according to Luke, when the 72 came back
full of joy saying: "Lord", they said, "even the devils
submit to us when we use your name" (Lk. 10: 17). It is the
experience of each disciple and of each one in the Community of
Sant'Egidio, which has led, during these years, to our living a
"missionary brotherhood" in many parts of the world.
