“Called to BE Church”

Communications

“The apostolate of the laity is a sharing in the church’s saving mission.  Through Baptism and Confirmation all are appointed to this apostolate by the Lord himself.  Moreover, by the sacraments, and especially by the sacred Eucharist, that love of God and humanity which is the soul of the entire apostolate is communicated and nourished.  The laity, however, are given this special vocation: to make the church present and fruitful in those places and circumstances where it is only through them that it can

become the salt of the earth.  Thus, all lay people, through the gifts which they have received, are at once the witnesses and the living instruments of the mission of the church itself ‘according to the measure of Christ’s gift (Eph 4:7).’” Vatican Council II Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Paragraph 33
