Summary/Abstract: Apostolic exortation of Holy Father Pope Francis „Evangelii gaudium”was published in 2013 after the Synod of bishops which was dedicated to THE NEW EVANGELIZATION FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CHRISTIAN faith but we can also treat it as a major document of pope’s Francis pontificate. Article presents vision of the pope’s Francis church which is concentrated more on the existential than essential dimensions. The analysis of pope’s Francis teaching was done in three dimensions: 1) the joyful proclamation of the Gospel through the new evangelization 2) pastoral conversion and missionary task of the Church 3) poor Church for the poor. Exhortation is an invitation to explore inside the Gospel an authentic joy and power which is able to change the modern world. Exhortation is an invitation to announce the Gospel to the modern world and impulse to manage urgent tasks of New Evangelization.
