By 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.
The Anointed series invites the entire parish community to reflect on “baptismal living” and the ways in which we are called to lead. These resources give parish leaders the tools they need to inspire and form their parish community to live out their baptismal roles as priest, prophet, and king in our world today.
