We are anointed with oil as a symbol when we receive the sacrament of Baptism that

we are united with Christ and share in his threefold mission as prophet, priest, and kin

g. One of the goals of Christifideles Laici is to inform us of 

this challenge, to enable us to take our position in this mission responsibly.

To participate in the priestly mission of Jesus, who for Jesus meant sacrificing himself 

on the cross, implies for us to 

make spiritual sacrifices for all our acts, that is, to carrying out all our actions in the S

pirit and with devotion.
