Imagine
what the world would be like if every baptized Catholic accepted
the challenge to share the faith with every other person and to live out
the call to holiness wherever he or she might be - in the midst of the
family, at work, in the public sector - wherever we live and work and
experience God's grace.
Each of us must be a force for the Gospel in our sphere of life. The
voice and activity of the laity will ultimately determine the direction
of society. The voice of Catholic physicians needs to be heard in the
area of medicine. Catholic lawyers need to speak out on the ethics
involved in the practice of the law. Catholic parents should be involved
in education issues. Each of us must be a force for the Gospel in our
sphere of life. In our lands where increasingly we see the arrogant
claim of secularism to be the only true expression of national ideals
and goals, the voice of committed Catholics is all the more necessary.
It is the task of each layperson to speak and live the faith today.
