From the fundamental contents of the “Lumen Gentium” of the Second Vatican Council the church is defined as a mystery. This mystery is founded in the People of God made up of consecrated and lay people. Both are called to form a part of the new People of God. The new People are from all races and each one collaborates with their own gifts. All are called to sainthood and are going to heaven. With this eschatological dimension the reality of the Church is not exhausted here on earth. The Holy Virgin is already enjoying this situation. On the other hand the document refers particularly to lay people, the faithful incorporated by baptism and made into kings, priests and prophets. They have a secular character given that they must carry out their work in such a way as to contribute to the sanctification of the world. Through their testimonial they are called to Jesus Christ through changing times.
