CATECHETICAL COLUMN
KNOW YOUR FAITH
THEME: THE FAITHFUL: HIERARCHY, LAITY, CONSECRATED LIFE.
How does the laity participate in the Prophetic office?
They participate in it by welcoming evermore in faith the Word of Christ and proclaiming it to the world by the witness of their lives, their words, their evangelizing action, and by catechists. This evangelizing action acquires a particular efficacy because it is accomplished in the ordinary circumstances of the world.
