The laity share in the priestly, prophetic, and kingly office of Christ.
REFLECTION
Through their Baptism, the Laity are summoned to engage in the Church’s life and mission, enabling them to work alongside ordained ministers in strengthening the body of Christ and furthering God’s Kingdom. They engage in priestly duties by dedicating their lives to sacred service. As prophets, they uphold truth, demonstrating Christ’s presence in their daily lives. Embracing a kingly role, they serve others and advocate for justice. Do I participate and share in the priestly, prophetic, and kingly office of Christ?
PRAYER
God, My Loving Father, I thank you for making me one with Christ through baptism. Help me live out my faith by standing for justice, proclaiming Christ’s teachings, and serving others. Amen.
