Identity Only from inside the Church's mystery of
communion is the "identity" of the lay faithful made known, and their fundamental dignity revealed.

Lay Faithful (Closing Thought) Lay faithful must be formed according to the
union which exists from their being members of the Church and citizens of human society.
There cannot be two parallel lives in their existence: on the one hand, the so-called "spiritual" life, with its values and demands; and on the other, the so-called "secular" life, that is, life in a family, at work, in social relationships, in the responsibilities of public life and in culture. (Charles Chaput)

Diocesan Priestly Spirituality
• “Active – Apostolic”• 4 aspects:– Ministry – primary determining influence– Flexibility, Mobility, Availability– “Appropriate” prayerful presence pervading all
activity– Unity of mind/heart/mission > physical presence.
![Page 95: 2012 conference #1 presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070604/543d89978d7f72fa138b57ee/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Diocesan Priestly Spirituality (Notes)
• Different from monastic spirituality• Don’t mix the two• 1.
– Prayer, quiet and contemplation are critical...– But ministerial involvement (not formal prayer) determines
contour/schedule of daily life.– Set prayer time cannot interfere with availability for ministry.
• 2. – Readiness of spirit– Born in “freedom” ...– and fascination with a loving God’s faithful commitment to us,– ...so that we can be faithful
![Page 96: 2012 conference #1 presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070604/543d89978d7f72fa138b57ee/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Diocesan Priestly Spirituality (Notes)
• 3– Discerned integration of formal prayer with day’s activities– Balance! Get honest sense of “reasonable” demands (and not
burnout)– “Work is my prayer” heretically invalid.– Laity can (and should) call Father on the carpet in terms of his prayer
life.• 4.
– Frustration with finding fellowship and fraternity– Union of minds, hearts found in “shared vision”– Regularly experienced– Provide support for celibate lifestyle– Enrich, animate and improve their life and ministry
