Summary/Abstract: The proclamation of the Good News, which is the primary task of the Church foundedby Jesus, should have a paschal character. Celebrated by Jews Passover not only promises,but also prepares the fi nal victory over sin and death, accomplished through Jesus Christin the Paschal Mystery. Paschal character has therefore the event of Jesus and the Church created as its consequence. Paschal character should also have all offi ces and functions inthe Church, used to make present the kingdom of God on earth that can not be limited onlyto the temporal. Similarly he Kingdom of God can not be completely isolated from temporality.The best explanation of this is the reality of Passover, which combines memory andpresent, history and the eschatological future. The Church, fi lling the missionary commandof Jesus, makes this on the paschal way, giving the paschal character to all of its offi cesand functions. In the same sense, he understands and leads the work of evangelization inevery cultural and historical context.
