1. Begin with a life of prayer - a rhytmn that is open to transendence through meditation, contemplation, private prayer, liturgical prayer and especially the Liturgy.2. Where are conversations taking place today? Culture is created as a network and the gospel is the message for that network. Where is the new Areopagus? Be there.
3. Read - the great encyclicals, Catholic classics, Catholic fiction, watch movies - follow the blogs: http://sisterrose.wordpress.com/ http://romans8v29.blogspot.com/ see listing of media blogs and media sites http://paulinelaity.blogspot.com/
4. Build relationships in the family, in the neighborhood, in the community, in the parish. In other words practice and live communio - communion of life in the Body of Christ.
5. Mission. What are our culture's values? Life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. How do we re-express these values with the gospel?Thanks to Cardinal's George's article on Evangelizing our culture for giving cues for these five points.
