Fathers
and mothers of families, those who are godparents through Baptism,
and in particular those members of the laity who collaborate with the
ecclesiastical hierarchy in spreading the Kingdom of the Divine
Redeemer occupy an honorable, if often a lowly, place in the
Christian community, and even they under the impulse of God and with
His help, can reach the heights of supreme holiness, which, Jesus
Christ has promised, will never be wanting to the Church.Mystical Body of Christ (Pope Pius XII)
