Indeed, everyone should painstakingly ready himself or herself personally for the apostolate, especially as an adult.  For the advance of age brings with it better self-knowledge, thus enabling each person to evaluate more accurately the talents with which God has enriched each soul and to exercise more effectively those charismatics gifts which the Holy Spirit has bestowed on all for the good of others (30).

Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity, Vatican II

In the last fifteen years many of the lay faithful have moved beyond the learning laboratories of ordinary life to more systematic education in theology, Scripture, spiritual life, religious studies, and spiritual direction.  This development has been beneficial to growing numbers of lay women and men who, in turn, have helped the whole Church understand and communicate the truths of our faith in new ways.
