Anointed for Mission: Exercising Your Baptismal CallBy their baptism, the faithful are called to make Christ tangibly present in the world. To understand this vocation, it is necessary to grasp what it means to share in a royal priesthood and a mission to preach the Gospel to draw others into life in the Body of Christ. Author Stephen S. Wilbricht, CSC, presents a discussion on the communal nature of baptism for parish groups to reflect upon for a deeper understanding of what their discipleship entails. |
