We have been blessed with the greatest of treasures: Christ and His saving gifts. And we have also been entrusted with the means in which we can share this treasure with others: the holy and life-giving Word of Christ, the very instrument the Holy Spirit uses to create faith when and where He pleases. We share the Word of Christ as individuals in our God-given vocations and as a church body in our teaching, practices, and mission activities. In these settings, the Holy Spirit is at work, calling, gathering, and enlightening unbelievers through the proclamation of the Gospel and drawing the faithful into the sacramental life of the Church.
