II. Lumen Gentium<br />
Chapter 1 - Trinitarian Perspective<br />
– FATHER calls all: prefiguring <strong>of</strong> <strong>Church</strong> from all time<br />
– Through SON - all sent on mission<br />
images to speak about <strong>Church</strong> (threefold munera)<br />
1. <strong>King</strong>dom: Shepherd/<strong>King</strong><br />
2. Tillage <strong>of</strong> God: Prophet<br />
3. Temple: Priest<br />
– Through the SPIRIT all called (vocation) to communion:<br />
in truth, love and mercy<br />
- all called through baptism into Trinity and sent on mission
Institutional Nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>Church</strong><br />
"But the society structured with the hierarchical<br />
organs and the Mystical Body <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Christ</strong>, are not to<br />
to<br />
be beconsidered as astwo realities, nor are the visible<br />
assembly and the spiritual community, nor the<br />
earthly <strong>Church</strong> and the <strong>Church</strong> enriched with<br />
heavenly things; rather they form one complex<br />
reality which coalesces from a divine and human<br />
element."
People <strong>of</strong> God<br />
Lumen Gentium ch. 2<br />
Vocation and Mission<br />
Vocation<br />
– call to tocommunion -“to be bea chosen race, a royal<br />
priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people” §9<br />
» “all the faithful, scattered throughout the world,<br />
are in incommunion with each other in inthe Holy<br />
Spirit....” §13<br />
» communion <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> “life, charity and truth” §12<br />
– “They [all baptized <strong>Christ</strong>ians] are consecrated by<br />
by<br />
baptism, in inwhich they are united with <strong>Christ</strong>” §15
People <strong>of</strong> God<br />
Lumen Gentium ch. 2<br />
Vocation and Mission<br />
Mission<br />
"sent forth into the whole world as the light <strong>of</strong> the world<br />
and the salt <strong>of</strong> the earth"<br />
“The obligation <strong>of</strong> spreading the faith is imposed on<br />
every disciple <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>, according to his/her state”<br />
§17<br />
– due to charism and <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
Threefold munera<br />
– Priesthood <strong>of</strong> Faithful - liturgy as <br />
§10<br />
– Prophetic <strong>of</strong>fice - sensus fidelium §12
Definition <strong>of</strong> <strong>Church</strong><br />
Society<br />
entered into through Baptism<br />
given visibility through<br />
"1) pr<strong>of</strong>ession <strong>of</strong> faith<br />
2) the sacraments and<br />
3) eccesiastical government<br />
and<br />
4 ) communion" (LG II,14)<br />
= (1) teach, (2) sanctify and (3) govern = missio<br />
+(4) communio<br />
= vocatio
Hierarchical Structures<br />
Lumen Gentium ch. 3<br />
Threefold division<br />
-Antiochene model :<br />
episcopoi, presbyteroi, diakonoi<br />
-vocation <strong>of</strong> community<br />
-others share "in degrees <strong>of</strong> participation in this<br />
ministry"<br />
basis for collaborative ministry
Descending Order <strong>of</strong> Ministry<br />
"Bishops, therefore, with their helpers, the priests<br />
and deacons, have taken up the service <strong>of</strong> the<br />
community, presiding in place <strong>of</strong> God over the<br />
flock, whose shepherds they are, as teachers for<br />
doctrine, priests for sacred worship, , and ministers<br />
for governing" " (Lumen Gentium II,20)
Bishop<br />
As having “fullness <strong>of</strong> orders”<br />
Specific vocation and mission <strong>of</strong> episcopacy<br />
– Vocation - communion<br />
bond <strong>of</strong> unity, charity and peace<br />
(sometimes alone, other times in council)<br />
– Mission - by means <strong>of</strong> threefold munera<br />
exercised in "hierarchical communion"<br />
+ teach (LG III, 25)<br />
+ sanctify (LG III, 26)<br />
+ rule (LG III, 27)
Priests<br />
"co-workers" or collaborators with bishops<br />
"called to preach Gospel,<br />
to shepherd the faithful and<br />
to celebrate divine worship"<br />
(LGIII, 28)<br />
teach<br />
govern<br />
sanctify
Deacons<br />
Ministry <strong>of</strong> service - diakonia<br />
Share communion with bishops and priests<br />
Mission not based on authority, but on service
The Laity<br />
Lumen Gentium --ch. 4<br />
Linguistic difficulty<br />
laos = people<br />
"faithful"<br />
"non-ordained"<br />
ordained"
Specificity <strong>of</strong> Vocation<br />
They (laity) are in their own way made sharers in the<br />
priestly, prophetic and kingly functions <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>;<br />
and they carry out for their part the mission <strong>of</strong> the<br />
whole <strong>Christ</strong>ian people in the church and in the<br />
world" (LG IV, 31)<br />
"Due to the special circumstances <strong>of</strong> our time the<br />
foundations <strong>of</strong> this doctrine must be more<br />
thoroughly examined" (LG IV, 30)
III. <strong>Christ</strong>ifideles Laici:<br />
Vocation and Mission <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>the Laity in inthe <strong>Church</strong><br />
and in inthe World Twenty Years after the Second<br />
Vatican Council<br />
"A new aspect to the grace and dignity coming from<br />
baptism is here introduced: The lay faithful participate<br />
for their part, in the threefold mission <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> as<br />
priest, prophet and king ... "<br />
<strong>Christ</strong>ifideles Laici, , 14
<strong>Christ</strong>ifideles Laici<br />
In the wake <strong>of</strong> the Second Vatican Council, at the<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong> my pastoral ministry my aim was to<br />
emphasize forcefully the priestly, prophetic and<br />
kingly dignity <strong>of</strong> the entire people <strong>of</strong> God ...<br />
The Second Vatican Council has reminded us <strong>of</strong> the<br />
mystery <strong>of</strong> this power and <strong>of</strong> the fact that the<br />
mission <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> — priest, prophet-teacher, teacher, king<br />
— continues in the <strong>Church</strong>. Everyone, the whole<br />
people <strong>of</strong> God, shares in this threefold mission"<br />
<strong>Christ</strong>ifideles Laici, 14
Mission<br />
Elaboration <strong>of</strong> threefold munera<br />
"Sharers in the priestly, prophetic and kingly<br />
mission <strong>of</strong> Jesus <strong>Christ</strong>"<br />
rights and obligations attached<br />
places question <strong>of</strong> munera not in terms <strong>of</strong><br />
authority or privilege, but in terms <strong>of</strong> service<br />
and obligation
Vocation<br />
"The call to holiness is rooted in baptism and<br />
proposed anew in other sacraments, principally the<br />
eucharist."<br />
"We come to a full sense <strong>of</strong> the dignity <strong>of</strong> the lay<br />
faithful if we consider the prime and fundamental<br />
vocation that the Father assigns to each <strong>of</strong> them in<br />
Jesus <strong>Christ</strong> through the Holy Spirit: the vocation<br />
<strong>of</strong> holiness, that is, the perfection <strong>of</strong> charity.<br />
Holiness is the greatest testimony <strong>of</strong> the dignity<br />
conferred on a disciple <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>" (CL 16)
Diverse yet Complementary<br />
Ministries<br />
"All<br />
the members <strong>of</strong> the people <strong>of</strong> God — clergy, men<br />
and women, the lay faithful— are laborers in the<br />
vineyard. At one and the same time they all are the<br />
goal and subjects <strong>of</strong> church communion as well as<br />
<strong>of</strong> participation in the mission <strong>of</strong> salvation. Every<br />
one <strong>of</strong> us possessing charisms and ministries,<br />
diverse yet complementary, works in the one and<br />
the same vineyard <strong>of</strong> the Lord" (CL 55)

Consequences for Ministry<br />
1. Shift in meaning <strong>of</strong> ministry since Vatican II<br />
– from trickle down idea to grass roots ministry<br />
2. Shift in theology <strong>of</strong> ministry<br />
– from pragmatic necessity to baptismal vocation and mission<br />
– all baptized <strong>Christ</strong>ians have responsibility and obligation to<br />
work for the upbuilding <strong>of</strong> the Body <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christ</strong><br />
3. Baptism as Fundamental Sacrament <strong>of</strong> Vocation<br />
– All other choices in life are further delineations <strong>of</strong> the<br />
fundamental baptismal vocation and mission.
