Paragraph 4. CHRIST’S FAITHFUL – HIERARCHY, LAITY, CONSECRATED LIFE

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

929
By a “life perfectly and entirely consecrated to [such] sanctification,” the members of these institutes share in the Church’s
task of evangelization, “in the world and from within the world,”
where their presence acts as “leaven in the world.”⁴⁷¹
“Their witness of a Christian life” aims “to order temporal
things according to God and inform the world with the power of the
gospel.” They commit themselves to the evangelical counsels by sacred
bonds and observe among themselves the communion and fellowship appropriate to
their “particular secular way of life.”⁴⁷²
