YOU ARE THE CHURCH. THE OBLIGATION OF SPREADING THE FAITH IS IMPOSED ON EVERY DISCIPLE OF CHRIST, ACCORDING TO HIS STATE (LG 17)

Sažetak
Society today is not monolithic, it is a society of differences, and we are dealing with them only lately. These differences are: the ambivalent relationship towards the tradition, subjectivism, escape into individualism and escape from authority, egoism and adoration of liberty. Tradition is still visible in certain environments, but it is approached selectively, because of the prevailing possibility for everyone to organize his own life arbitrarily. The members of the Church have less time for the needs of faith. A new pastoral effort should be made to reinforce in the members of the Church the responsibility for the life of the Church, so that everyone can deeply feel the call: “I am the Church, together we are Church”, i.e. to live their Christianity by actualizing the words of the 2nd Vatican Council: The obligation of spreading the faith is imposed on every disciple of Christ, according to his state (LG 17). Only then he will be able to offer Christ his own capacities and announce: Christ is the Light of nations (LG 1).
