"Lived fully, the ministers of reconciliation make of those who follow Jesus Christ, "true doers" and actors of peace. The righteous man, justified in Christ by the ministry of the Church is then an effective actor for a righteous and reconciled world. And if the lay faithful are better actors of reconciliation and peace, it is in the world where they find their vocation and mission."
