“Every baptized person is an active agent of evangelization.”
In this week’s Wednesday audience, Pope Leo XIV continues his catechesis on the Second Vatican Council and ‘Lumen gentium,’ reflecting on the Church as a priestly and prophetic people.
Through baptism and by the anointing of the Holy Spirit in confirmation, we are called to share in Christ’s royal priesthood, which enables us to worship God in spirit and truth, first and foremost through our participation in the Eucharist.
We also partake in the prophetic mission of Christ. Every baptized person is an active agent of evangelization, called to bear consistent witness to the truth of the faith, in accordance with the prophetic gift that God bestows upon his whole Church.
“Through prayer, asceticism and active charity, we thus bear witness to a life renewed by God’s grace.”
