| The Apostolate of the Laity Since the Second Vatican Council My intention in the present talk, therefore, is to do two things. First say something about the fact that the apostolate of the laity is different, since the [Vatican II]Council and because of the Council, and secondly show how it is different. I would like to conclude with some practical implications. |
| Apostolate for Priests Over the centuries, the Church has exhorted the faithful to do everything they can for the priests who trace their priestly ancestry to Christ’s ordination of the apostles at the Last Supper on Holy Thursday night. Catholics are to pray for priests. They are to make sacrifices for priests. They should have Masses said for priests. They should encourage priests to remain faithful to their high vocation and do everything in their power to ensure the sanctity of priests. |
| The Apostolate as Spiritual Formation When we say apostolate we mean dedication to winning souls for Christ. The word itself means being sent for the purpose of bringing souls to Christ if they are not united with Him already or closer to Christ if they are already in His friendship. |
| The Apostolate of Women My purpose in this short column is to ask three simple questions and answer them in a few words: How have women been the spiritual mothers of the Church since apostolic times? Why are women desperately needed as apostles of the faith in our day? What are some practical recommendations to Catholic women for the future? |
