This article is about the relationship between priests and lay people,
a relationship of friendship, respect, trust and co-operation

Priests must sincerely acknowledge and promote the dignity of the laity and the part proper to them in the mission of the Church. They must willingly listen to the laity, and consider their wants in a fraternal spirit. Likewise, they should confidently entrust to the laity duties in the service of the Church, allowing them freedom and room for action

Since Vatican II a lot of good things have happened re the above aims,
but a great deal still remains to be done

Jesus, please help priests treat lay people as partners and friends
