Resolution 

Reflection 304   Based on the 1965 Vatican II document: 
DECREE ON THE APOSTOLATE OF THE LAITY - 26

(Comments welcome here)


This article says that children should have a taste for the apostolate from their earliest days, helped by an apostolic spirit in their families and schools

When I was a student at school, my parents helped with activities at the local parish and at my school....giving a good example of an apostolic spirit

At secondary school I had the chance to join in hospital visitation and other activities with the Vincent de Paul Society

As a teacher I took secondary school students to hospitals, hostels, St VdP, Salvation Army, refugee and other centers....trying to pass on the apostolic spirit

Jesus, may all students "catch" the apostolic spirit!
