We can draw some conclusions from the beatification of 522 martyrs of the twentieth century in Spain, held in Tarragona on 13 October 2013. It was so far the beatification of the largest number of the martyrs in the history of the Church. This celebration showed the link with the martyrs of the third century. All of them can say the same: they died for their faith in Jesus Christ. They forgave their executioners. Their glorification is a proclamation of peace and reconciliation and a lesson for all Christians. The courage of the martyrs was at the end not their own merit, but the grace of Christ. The martyrdom manifested the fuller identification of the disciples of Christ with the offering of their Master, Jesus Christ and with God the Father and the Holy Spirit for the redemption of the world. The uplifting witness of the martyrs helps the nowadays Christians to renew their life in the power of the Holy Spirit for the good of the Church and the world.

Benedict XVI's launching of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization, of the XIII Ordinary General Assembly of the Bishops, devoted to the new evangelization, and finally the Lineamenta published in 2011 make a good starting point for the Church's rethinking of its identity and mission. This paper touches upon the issue of the new evangelization, starting from defining its essence, and then it comes to present – drawing upon the Lineamenta – the major forms and methods of transmitting the Gospel that seems to be the most effective in contemporary world. Of utmost importance is the Church's loyalty to the mission bestowed on her by Christ. Also important is that the Church understands the processes that take place in the world to which Christ sends His disciples, as teachers and witnesses of the Good News. Noteworthy is the initiative called „Courtyard of the Gentiles”, which is an interesting proposal of a dialogue with people seeking God.
