Class 8 : CHURCH THE PEOPLE OF GOD

Church: The Prophetic People

Chapter Context

A prophet is one who conveys to the people the will of God and bears witness to God by fulfilling God's will in his own life. All the children of the church who are anointed by the Holy Spirit in the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation also become prophets. We are called to become the salt of the Earth and the light of the World. We must fulfill our prophetic mission by empowering ourselves through the reception of sacraments and by living our faith life for spreading the Good News through our own example.
