Lay Apostolate
The Lay Apostolate associated with this work is basically those lay members of the Catholic faithful who, according to what is written on the DFOT website: " seek to be united to Jesus in their daily work, and through their vocations, in order to obtain graces for the conversion of sinners. They pledge their allegiance to God the Father. Through their cooperation with the Holy Spirit, they will allow Jesus to flow through them into the world, bringing His light. They do this in union with Mary, our Blessed Mother, with the communion of saints, with all of God's holy angels, and with our fellow lay apostles in the world."
As lay apostles of Jesus Christ the Returning King, they agree to perform their basic obligations as practicing Catholics. Additionally, they will adopt the following spiritual practices, as best they can.
1. Allegiance Prayer, along with the Morning Offering and a brief prayer for the Holy Father. 2. One hour of Eucharistic Adoration each week. 3. Participation in a monthly lay apostle prayer group, which includes the Luminous Mysteries of the Holy Rosary and the reading of the Monthly Message. 4. Monthly Confession. 5. Further, they will follow the example of Jesus Christ, as set out in Holy Scripture, treating all others with His patience and kindness."
