The Layman — a Witness to the Sacred in the World

Vladimir Lončarević ; Filozofsko-teološki institut Družbe Isusove u Zagrebu, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

The destiny of Christ in the world is kept in the hands of lay people. It is from their »fiat« regarding the apostolic work that the redemption of the world in which they live depends. Let us not quench the Spirit (1 Thess 5,19) in order that we might be able to feed the world with His gifts: with love, joy, peace, patience, mildness, kindness, fidelity, meekness, restraint — holiness!
In this sense the Christian practice of lay people is the best theodicy: lay people do not prove religion with practice, they actualize it.
