Описание: Ave Maria!

Cardinal Arinze gives a talk on the role of the laity in the work of evangelization that he titles "Go Out to all the World
and tell the Good News! The Lay Apostolate in our Day" at the Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center in Bloomington, Indiana.

Notes:
Vatican II - Apostolicam Actuositatem (Apostolate of the Laity) - http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_co... - Paragraph 2
Different roles of priests, religious and laity that form the team which is the Church
What is the lay persons distinctive role included in Baptism?
Gives grace and right to worship and mission. They should know their role so that the team works together with clerics
8:00
Lay people are the vast majority of the Church
Evangelize where they are working in secular affairs
Help with Clerics with there expertise and many hands, but this is not the height of the lay apostolate
12:00
Specifically called to the evangelization of the secular order
Bring spirit of Christ into the every day life, Christianization of temporal order
Government, medicine, mechanics, transport, manufacturing, finance, fathers and mothers
Gaudiem et Spes 43
Paul VI - Evangelii Nuntiandi (Announcing the Gospel) - http://w2.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/...
John Paul II - Christifideles Laici (The Laity of Christ's Faithful People) - http://w2.vatican.va/content/john-pau...
Benedict XVI - Deus Caritas Est (God is love) - http://w2.vatican.va/content/benedict...
16:00
Not just helping the priest but has there own share, there own realm that is very important
Faith is under attack
Especially because family is under attack and will be saved by lay people who are more involved in this
Should not give up on politics must be active as well as pray
Jesus, Judas and Peter, Peter was sleeping and Judas was very busy
We must stay awake and be active!
Lay people are often more listened to since they are involved and not considered so different as are clerics
Often bishops feel threatened by the lay people but they are not in competition, one body
20:00
Good leader is not afraid of other leaders
Common problem is poor ecclesiology, think Bishops and priest are really the Church
Problem for priests who try to run everything not relying on lay people who are often very much experts in their field
Lay people too need to have good ecclesiology and theology to know their place and how they are needed
Should not be at odds with clergy, work with them and work in the world as leaders
28:00
Can not be "Ã la carte" or "cafeteria" Catholic who say "I am Catholic but ...", rather "I am Catholic, therefore ..."
Vatican II - Gaudiem et Spes 43 Church in the world of today - http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_co...
GS 43 "What the Church offers human activity through its members"
Have duty to spread the faith among common people
31:00
Church not just for Sunday
Must be active as Christians on Monday
Christians who neglects his secular, temporal duties jeopardizes his salvation, must have unity between citizenship of Church and society
Religion should unite all of our activities
36:00
Secular is spouse parenting, politics, finance, manufacturing, etc.
Will try to be proficient
For guidance and spiritual sustenance turn to priest
But up to lay people to take on role in the world
Develop well formed conscience
39:00
