Apostolicam Actuositatem

Meet Jean Paul Afif

Welcome to AA or Apostolicam Actuositatem, an interview series on effective apostolic activity for the XXI century. In this episode, we speak with Jean-Paul Afif, a financial advisor from Orange county.

"They exercise the apostolate in fact by their activity directed to the evangelization and sanctification of men and to the penetrating and perfecting of the temporal order through the spirit of the Gospel. In this way, their temporal activity openly bears witness to Christ and promotes the salvation of men. Since the laity, in accordance with their state of life, live in the midst of the world and its concerns, they are called by God to exercise their apostolate in the world like leaven, with the ardor of the spirit of Christ."
