Lumen Gentium on prophesy and gifts
12. The holy people of God shares also in Christ's prophetic office; it
spreads abroad a living witness to Him, especially by means of a life of faith
and charity and by offering to God a sacrifice of praise, the tribute of lips
which give praise to His name.(110) The entire body of the faithful, anointed as
they are by the Holy One,(111) cannot err in matters of belief. They manifest
this special property by means of the whole peoples' supernatural discernment in
matters of faith when "from the Bishops down to the last of the lay
faithful" (8*) they show universal agreement in matters of faith and
morals. That discernment in matters of faith is aroused and sustained by the
Spirit of truth. It is exercised under the guidance of the sacred teaching
authority, in faithful and respectful obedience to which the people of God
accepts that which is not just the word of men but truly the word of God.(112)
Through it, the people of God adheres unwaveringly to the faith given once and
for all to the saints,(113) penetrates it more deeply with right thinking, and
applies it more fully in its life. Link | 0 comments | Tweet
