“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).’”

Council II
