The Christian Vocation of the Laity

Aldegonde Brenninkmeijer gave a lecture on "The Domestic Church in Marriage and Family Life", presenting some ideas about the way in which our homes can become a solid school of domestic companionship for a reliable and sound fundament which ultimately helps to build up a better society. The family is a domestic church with two vocations: personal and social. Among the tasks that apply to the family are to guard, reveal and communicate love; to serve life (that is, both nurturing children and bringing life to the world); to be open to other families, especially the poor and needy; to pray, ritualize, and to serve the broader community".
