A Summary of Christifideles Laici
PAGE 3 (CL 15-17)
John Paul II emphasises something the Council began: the laity are called to bring the Gospel into the secular world — the places where life actually happens.
This includes:
work,
family life,
culture,
politics,
education,
social structures.
Your mission is not to withdraw from the world, but to order temporal realities according to God’s Plan.
John Paul II teaches that the world is the 'place and the means' for your vocation (CL 15). You don't find God despite your secular work, but through it.
