The article laments laymen’s miscomprehension of their role in the Church and urges personal, attentive contribution over mere attendance. It argues laypeople are not second class but essential, and that mature laymen and women inspire priests and fellow laymen alike, with the Church’s vitality resting in their front-rank service.
