“The
apostolate, through which the laity build up the Church,
sanctify the world and get it to live in Christ can take on many
forms. A special form of the individual apostolate is the
witness
of a whole lay life issuing from faith, hope and
charity; it is a
sign very much in keeping with our times, and a
manifestation
of Christ living in his faithful."
--Second Vatican
Council,
Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity
(1965), #16.
