Powszechne powołanie do świętości w świetle nauczania św. Josemarii Escrivy de Balaguera

Abstract

Saint Josemaria Escrivá de Balaguer, the founder of Opus Dei, is among the precursors of the Second Vatican Council in terms of stressing the role of laity in Church life. Laypeople are called to holiness by meeting their commitments resulting from the ontic truth of being children of God, which is rooted in the mystery of baptism and maintained through care for spiritual life with the help of graces from the other sacraments. In this way, a person becomes like Christ, which also results in the solid and exemplary fulfilment of status-related and professional obligations in daily life.
