Summary

The New Testament describes the baptized as a "holy priesthood" and "a priestly people." Vatican II clearly taught that the baptized become "a holy priesthood." Their personal fidelity and lives led in loving obedience to the Gospel become "spiritual sacrifices" offered along with the body of the Lord in the Eucharist. The Priesthood of the Faithful explores this key doctrine of Christian faith and examines its significance for the spiritual growth and revitalization of the church. It focuses on the prophetic, pastoral, and priestly roles of the faithful with the aim of helping people experience their own lives as the fruitful blossoming of Christ's grace in the world. Chapters are "A Timely Discussion," "Chosen To Live," "Living, Holy Signs," "A Priesthood Embracing Christ's Body," "People Who Speak for the Spirit," "Hearts Set on the Kingdom of God," "Lives Lifted in Praise," "An International Symbolic Life." Includes two appendices: "Graced Sign and Realized Mystery," and "An Open Letter to Religious."

Excerpts

"The New Testament describes the baptized as "a holy priesthood" and "a priestly people." Vatican II clearly taught that the baptized become "a holy priesthood." Their personal fidelity and lives led in loving obedience to the Gospel become "spiritual sacrifices" offered along with the Body of the Lord in the Eucharist. This book is the first study in English to explore systematically this key doctrine of Christian faith and examine its significance for the spiritual growth of the faithful and for the revitalization of the Church. The time is ripe for this long-neglected treasure of New Testament faith to become central to the Church's preaching, ministry, and evangelization."--BOOK JACKET.
