2 Intro,2| world.~In our times, the Church after Vatican II in a renewed
3 Intro,2| mission on behalf of the Church and the world. In preaching
4 Intro,2| communities from the whole Church, the Fathers, enriched by
5 Intro,2| the lay faithful in the Church and in the world.~In this
6 Intro,2| to renew the youth of the Church and how he has inspired
7 Intro,2| commitment in the life of the Church; and in the fuller and meaningful
8 Intro,2| so strongly interested in Church services and tasks that
9 Intro,2| translated into authentic Church "practice". Some situations
10 Intro,2| regarding the ministries and Church services entrusted at present
11 Intro,2| role of women both in the Church and in society.~At the conclusion
12 Intro,2| offered to the Universal Church(5).~This Post-Synodal Apostolic
13 Intro,2| communion and mission of the Church.~
14 Intro,3| part in the mission of the Church in this great moment in
15 Intro,3| affairs today both in the Church and in social, economic,
16 Intro,3| as a living member in the Church and has an active part in
17 Intro,3| the historic events of the Church and humanity, as the Council
18 Intro,7| vineyard.~In this field the Church is present and working,
19 Intro,7| mentioned deeply affect the Church: they in part condition
20 Intro,7| they in part condition the Church, but they do not crush her,
21 Intro,7| and by the Evil One, the Church knows that all the forces
22 Intro,7| man and of the world.~The Church knows that she is sent forth
23 Intro,7| the bearer of joy that the Church announces each day, and
24 Intro,7| each day, and to whom the Church bears testimony before all
25 Intro,7| testimony: through them the Church of Christ is made present
26 1 | the Lay Faithful in the Church as Mystery~
27 1,8 | perspective which emphasizes the Church's internal nature, the lay
28 1,8 | reveal the mystery of the Church, proposes again the image
29 1,8 | that is, to us. Through the Church we abide in Christ, without
30 1,8 | nothing (Jn 15:1-5)"(12). The Church herself, then, is the vine
31 1,8 | 20).~Only from inside the Church's mystery of communion is
32 1,8 | vocation and mission in the Church and in the world be defined.~
33 1,9 | lived experience of the Church, guided as she is by the
34 1,9 | the lay faithful to the Church and to its mystery.~At the
35 1,9 | the Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium-" is here
36 1,9 | state sanctioned by the Church. Through Baptism the lay
37 1,9 | people with respect to the Church and the world"(15).~Pius
38 1,9 | on the front lines of the Church's life; for them the Church
39 1,9 | Church's life; for them the Church is the animating principle
40 1,9 | only of belonging to the Church, but of being the Church,
41 1,9 | Church, but of being the Church, that is to say, the community
42 1,9 | with him. These are the Church ..."(16).~According to the
43 1,9 | the other members of the Church, are branches engrafted
44 1,9 | Christian in the mystery of the Church. This mystery constitutes
45 1,10 | Christ and to his Body, the Church; and anoints us in the Holy
46 1,12 | members of the body of the Church", as the Council of Florence
47 1,14 | living tradition of the Church, as exemplified in the explanation
48 1,14 | Prophet-Teacher, King-continues in the Church. Everyone, the whole People
49 1,14 | the appreciation of the Church's supernatural faith, that "
50 1,14 | showers his gifts upon the Church which is his Body and his
51 1,14 | their being members of the Church, as St. Peter clearly teaches,
52 1,14 | because it derives from Church communion, the sharing of
53 1,15 | a responsibility for the Church's mission.~But among the
54 1,15 | faithful's position in the Church in a complete, adequate
55 1,15 | context of the mystery of the Church.~Pope Paul VI said the Church "
56 1,15 | Church.~Pope Paul VI said the Church "has an authentic secular
57 1,15 | through her members"(30).~The Church, in fact, lives in the world,
58 1,15 | Certainly all the members of the Church are sharers in this secular
59 1,15 | faithful's position in the Church, then, comes to be fundamentally
60 1,16 | sons and daughters of the Church by a Council which intended
61 1,16 | from the mystery of the Church: she is the choice vine,
62 1,16 | abiding and working in the Church to communicate to her the
63 1,16 | this urgency: "Since the Church in Christ is a mystery,
64 1,16 | difficult circumstances in the Church's history. Today we have
65 1,16 | up"(42).~Everyone in the Church, precisely because they
66 1,16 | all other members of the Church, the lay faithful are called
67 1,16 | sacramental life of the Church, in personal prayer, in
68 1,17 | the lay faithful in the Church and in the world. In fact,
69 1,17 | their participation in the Church's holiness, represents their
70 1,17 | contribution to the building of the Church herself, who is the "Communion
71 1,17 | of salvation within the Church. The Church's holiness is
72 1,17 | salvation within the Church. The Church's holiness is the hidden
73 1,17 | in the measure that the Church, Christ's Spouse, is loved
74 1,17 | faithful's position in the Church, the celebrated admonition
75 1,17 | equality for all members of the Church, guarantees and fosters
76 2 | Faithtul in the Life of Church as Communion~
77 2,18 | The Mystery of Church Communion~18. Again we turn
78 2,18 | the very mystery of the Church, as the Second Vatican Council
79 2,18 | words of Saint Cyprian: "The Church shines forth as 'a people
80 2,18 | to recall this mystery of Church communion at the beginning
81 2,18 | and responsibility in the Church and in the world. A proper
82 2,18 | the living context of the Church as communion.~
83 2,19 | Second Vatican Council the Church again proposed this central
84 2,19 | great honour in the early Church and in the Oriental Churches,
85 2,19 | clearer understanding of the Church as communion and its concrete
86 2,19 | foundation of communion in the Church. The Eucharist is the source
87 2,19 | Body of Christ which is the Church (1 Cor 10:16)"(53).~On the
88 2,19 | the following words: "The Church is a communion. In this
89 2,19 | Saints'. The meaning of the Church is a communion of saints. '
90 2,19 | among Christians, in the Church"(54).~Vatican Council II
91 2,19 | contemplate the mystery of the Church through biblical images
92 2,19 | light the reality of the Church as a communion with its
93 2,19 | reproposed the image of the Church as the People of God: "It
94 2,19 | in a wonderful way: "The Church in Christ is a kind of sacrament,
95 2,19 | 58).~The reality of the Church as Communion is, then, the
96 2,19 | psychological reality. The Church as Communion is the "new"
97 2,19 | source of communion in the Church.~
98 2,20 | gifts for the welfare of the Church (cf. 1 Cor 12:1-11). Among
99 2,20 | diversity and unity in the Church. Once again we read in the
100 2,20 | The Spirit dwells in the Church and in the hearts of the
101 2,20 | 15-16, 26). Guiding the Church in the way of all truth (
102 2,20 | the Gospel he makes the Church grow, perpetually renews
103 2,20 | cf. Rev 22:17)"(62).~Church communion then is a gift,
104 2,20 | life and mission of the Church, to whose service the lay
105 2,20 | their relationship in the Church, that what distinguishes
106 2,21 | the Spirit's Gifts to the Church~21. The Second Vatican Council
107 2,21 | the world(64). Indeed, the Church is directed and guided by
108 2,21 | work at this time in the Church are all, even in their variety
109 2,21 | ministerial constitution of the Church in apostolic times. In his
110 2,21 | God has appointed in the Church first apostles, second prophets,
111 2,22 | primary position in the Church are the ordained ministries,
112 2,22 | sacred power to serve the Church, acting in persona Christi
113 2,22 | are a grace for the entire Church. These ministries express
114 2,22 | increase communion in the Church, particularly in those places
115 2,22 | participation in the mission in the Church(68).~
116 2,23 | the Lay Faithful~23. The Church's mission of salvation in
117 2,23 | necessity and expediency in the Church require it, the Pastors,
118 2,23 | When the necessity of the Church warrants it and when ministers
119 2,23 | of the situation in the Church on the ministries, offices
120 2,23 | both the unity of the Church's mission in which all the
121 2,23 | offices and roles in the Church, which are rooted in the
122 2,23 | pastoral structure of the Church, ought to be exercised in
123 2,23 | the lay faithful in the Church's life and mission of spreading
124 2,23 | ministries existed in the Latin Church only as spiritual steps
125 2,24 | bestowing diverse ministries in Church communion, enriches it still
126 2,24 | the varied needs of the Church in history. The description
127 2,24 | to the building up of the Church, to the well-being of humanity
128 2,24 | the growth of the whole Church.~The charisms are received
129 2,24 | on the part of the entire Church. They are in fact a singularly
130 2,24 | submission to the Pastors of the Church. The Council clearly states: "
131 2,24 | those who preside over the Church, and to whose special competence
132 2,25 | Participation in the Life of the Church~25. The lay faithful participate
133 2,25 | participate in the life of the Church not only in exercising their
134 2,25 | mission of the particular Church, in the diocese in which "
135 2,25 | the diocese in which "the Church of Christ, one, holy, catholic

140 2,25 | fragmentation of the universal Church, nor does the universal
141 2,25 | nor does the universal Church come about by a simple amalgamation
142 2,25 | this is why the universal Church exists and is manifested
143 2,25 | the model of the universal Church; it is in and from these
144 2,25 | one and unique Catholic Church"(85).~The same Council strongly

150 2,26 | certain sense it is the Church living in the midst of the
151 2,26 | the very "mystery" of the Church is present and at work,
152 2,26 | communion with the whole Church. Such suitableness is rooted
153 2,26 | with the entire particular Church.~Since the Church's task

156 2,27 | Their activity within Church communities is so necessary
157 2,27 | are all necessary for the Church to grow, each in its own
158 2,27 | the universality of the Church. The lay faithful should

160 2,27 | indeed, the parish is the Church placed in the neighborhoods
161 2,28 | Participation in the Life of the Church ~28. The lay faithful together
162 2,28 | Being "members" of the Church takes nothing away from
163 2,28 | and richness for the whole Church. Therefore, God calls the
164 2,28 | vineyard too", directed to the Church as a whole, come specially
165 2,28 | common richness of all the Church. This is the "Communion
166 2,28 | good of all. "In the Holy Church", writes Saint Gregory the
167 2,28 | of being a "member of the Church" yet entrusted with a unique
168 2,29 | Forms of Participation~29. Church communion, already present
169 2,29 | life and mission of the Church.~In recent days the phenomenon
170 2,29 | been present throughout the Church's history as various confraternities,
171 2,29 | participation of all of them in the Church'smission of carrying forth
172 2,29 | to the commitment to the Church's mission and the apostolate.~
173 2,29 | communion and of unity of the Church of Christ"(106).~It is a "
174 2,29 | such groups take in the Church.~First of all, the freedom
175 2,29 | freedom for lay people in the Church to form such groups is to
176 2,29 | participate actively in the Church's communion and mission.
177 2,29 | relationship is kept to Church authority, the lay faithful
178 2,29 | only to be exercised in Church communion. Consequently,
179 2,29 | essentially in relation to the Church's life of communion and
180 2,30 | from the perspective of the Church's communion and mission,
181 2,30 | the lay faithful in the Church:~- The primacy given to
182 2,30 | leading to holiness in the Church, through fostering and promoting "
183 2,30 | truth about Christ, the Church and humanity, in obedience

185 2,30 | Church's Magisterium, as the Church interprets it. For this
186 2,30 | of unity of the universal Church(112), and with the local

188 2,30 | esteem for all forms of the Church's apostolate"(114).~The
189 2,30 | Pope and Bishop. Moreover, Church communion demands both an
190 2,30 | the lay faithful in the Church and at the same time, a
191 2,30 | and participation in the Church's apostolic goals, that
192 2,30 | society, which in light of the Church's social doctrine, places
193 2,30 | participate in programmes and Church activities at the local,
194 2,30 | Christian life or the return to Church communion of those baptized
195 2,31 | Communion~31. The Pastors of the Church even if faced with possible
196 2,31 | for the well-being of the Church, but also for the well-being
197 2,31 | associations might grow in Church communion and mission.~It
198 2,31 | approval from competent Church authority to facilitate
199 2,31 | of the common good of the Church, moreover, ecclesial authority
200 2,31 | God for the great gift of Church communion which is the reflection

206 3,32 | for all people. Thus the Church feels she owes to each individual
207 3,32 | growth. The mission of the Church flows from her own nature.
208 3,32 | the entire mission of the Church is directed: "That which

217 3,33 | passages of history the Church has made her way under the
218 3,33 | and vocation proper to the Church, her most profound identity"(
219 3,33 | Through evangelization the Church is built up into a community
220 3,33 | also of many parts of the Church, absolutely demands that

222 3,34 | owed to humanity by the Church. Each Christian's words
223 3,35 | a re-evangelization, the Church cannot withdraw from her
224 3,35 | entrusts each day to his Church.~The activity of the lay
225 3,35 | love for Christ and the Church through their valuable presence
226 3,35 | or surroundings where the Church is not yet established and
227 3,35 | serious proportions for the Church that only a truly consolidated
228 3,35 | responsibility by all members of the Church, both individuals and communities,
229 3,35 | Council to the particular Church retains all its value, even
230 3,35 | to mirror the universal Church as perfectly as possible,
231 3,35 | believe in Christ"(126).~The Church today ought to take a giant
232 3,35 | increasingly smaller, the Church community ought to strengthen
233 3,35 | Throughout the world today the Church lives among people of various
234 3,35 | sign of the Lord and his Church, in a way adapted to the
235 3,36 | power of the Spirit the Church becomes at one and the same
236 3,36 | society. Without doubt the Church has the Kingdom of God as
237 3,36 | this in mind, then, the Church walks and lives, intimately
238 3,36 | forth in Jesus Christ, the Church likewise awakens one person
239 3,36 | From this perspective the Church is called, in virtue of
240 3,36 | the primary route that the Church must travel in fulfilling
241 3,36 | fundamental way for the Church, the way traced out by Christ
242 3,36 | which is proper to her, the Church not only communicates divine
243 3,36 | the whole community, the Church believes she càn contribute
244 3,36 | family, for which the whole Church is responsible, a particular
245 3,37 | of the service which the Church, and the lay faithful in
246 3,38 | maximum determination.~The Church has never yielded in the
247 3,38 | and political power.~The Church today lives a fundamental
248 3,38 | take control. In fact, "the Church family believes that human
249 3,38 | shadow over the world, the Church stands for life: in each
250 3,38 | accepting life, to make the Church's "Yes" to human life concrete
251 3,39 | for the building up of the Church. Thus the mystic vine bears
252 3,39 | martyrs"(142).~The whole Church is profoundly grateful for
253 3,39 | essential property of the Church: God's Church is born of
254 3,39 | property of the Church: God's Church is born of God's grace,

257 3,40 | incomparable social value. The Church, for her part, is deeply

264 3,42 | name of the Church. The Church by reason of her role and
265 3,42 | participation in the life of the Church and enlightened by her social
266 3,43 | the social doctrine of the Church. I warmly desire to again
267 3,43 | the social doctrine of the Church is the principle of the
268 3,44 | creator of history.~The Church is fully aware of a pastoral
269 3,44 | hearts. For this reason the Church calls upon the lay faithful
270 3,44 | responsibility to the entire Church, but in a specific way to
271 3,44 | peoples... In this way the Church carries out her mission
272 3,44 | recollection here: "The Church evangelizes when she seeks

274 3,44 | frontier for the mission of the Church, because it is undergoing
275 4,45 | extraordinary variety of ways the Church becomes "present" in life;
276 4,45 | makes the riches of the Church more vital and concrete.~
277 4,46 | Youth, the Hope of the Church~46. The Synod wished to
278 4,46 | challenge for the future of the Church. In fact the Church sees
279 4,46 | the Church. In fact the Church sees her path towards the
280 4,46 | youth as "the hope of the Church"(168).~In the letter of
281 4,46 | the world we read: "The Church looks to the youth, indeed
282 4,46 | to the youth, indeed the Church in a special way looks at
283 4,46 | Millennium after Christ, the Church also sees herself in the
284 4,46 | pastoral concern for the Church: in fact, young people are
285 4,46 | active on behalf of the Church as leading characters in
286 4,46 | with their state"(171).~The Church must seek to rekindle the
287 4,46 | 21). For this reason the Church does not tire of proclaiming
288 4,46 | salvation of humanity.~The Church has so much to talk about
289 4,46 | so much to share with the Church. This mutual dialogue, by
290 4,46 | and youthfulness for the Church and civil society. In its
291 4,46 | people the Council said: "The Church looks to you with confidence
292 4,46 | the world... Look upon the Church and you will find in her
293 4,47 | missionary fruitfulness of the Church has its life-giving basis
294 4,47 | them and for the entire Church. Everyone ought to be more
295 4,47 | for the building up of the Church and for making society more

299 4,48 | remind older people that the Church calls and expects them to
300 4,48 | in the faith both in the Church and in society (cf. Ps 44:

305 4,49 | life and mission of the Church.~Making reference to Pope
306 4,49 | dignity of women in the Church and society, it is women
307 4,49 | participation of women in Church life as well as in social
308 4,49 | expression of her mission the Church must stand firmly against
309 4,49 | putting the teaching of the Church into practice"(179).~In
310 4,49 | life and mission of the Church, emphasis should be placed
311 4,49 | the various fields of the Church's apostolate"(180).~The
312 4,49 | inspiration in the Gospel and the Church's history. In fact, for
313 4,49 | evidence of the Gospel, the Church at its origin detached herself
314 4,49 | the Apostles founds the Church", stated Paul VI, "the witness
315 4,49 | successive development the Church, albeit in different ways
316 4,49 | oftentimes decisive role in the Church herself and accomplished
317 4,49 | and the holiness of the Church. It is necessary that this
318 4,49 | Gospel's message and the Church's history, the Synod Fathers
319 4,49 | It is necessary that the Church recognize all the gifts
320 4,49 | Synod proclaims that the Church seeks the recognition and
321 4,50 | presence of woman in the Church and in society is a more
322 4,50 | basis of femininity, the Church enters the historic process
323 4,50 | But even before this the Church intends, in such a way,
324 4,50 | context of the faith of the Church, and also, in the lives
325 4,50 | Council reminds us: "The Church maintains that beneath all
326 4,50 | Christians and as members of the Church.~This meditation on the

331 4,51 | apostolic mission of the Church, there is no doubt that
332 4,51 | fundamental apostolate of the Church: evangelization. However,
