"The laity can reach other people more easily than the religious, because the religious live and work in community, while the laity live immersed in the structures of the world. The laity therefore have a great opportunity to be witnesses of Christ. The laity are called to preach and bear witness to the Gospel of Christ in their daily lives, with the people they meet. We are all missionaries. Each baptized person also has the responsibility to proclaim the message of the love of Christ."
