"Sharing in the function of Christ, priest, prophet, and king, the laity have an active part of their own in the life and activity of the church. Their activity with the church communities is so necessary that without it the apostolate of the pasters will fequently be unable to obtain its full effect. Following in the footsteps of the men and women who assisted Paul in the proclamation of the Gospel (see Acts 18;18-26; Rom 16:3), lay persons of a genuinely apostolic spirit supply the needs of their brother and sisters and are a source of consolation to the pastors no less than the rest of the faithful (see 1 Cor 16:17-18)."
