The vocation and mission of the laity (LG 30–38)


PAGE 7

Lumen Gentium doesn’t speak to the laity as an afterthought.

It speaks to you as a woman called by God, anointed by the Spirit, and sent into the world with a mission that only you can carry.

Your apostolate is not a side project.

It is woven into your identity as a daughter of God.

You are called to:

  • bring Christ into the ordinary,

  • renew the world from within,

  • live your faith with courage and joy,

  • and let your life become a place where God’s love takes root.

It affirms your dignity and mission as a lay member of the People of God.
