what is ministry?

Ministry is about service. It is the practical application of the call to "love one another as I have loved you".

It is reaching out to others, being willing to give of your time, energy and talents in order to make visible the love of God in the world in which we live.

We are all called to exercise the ministry we hold as priest, prophet, king, because we are made, confirmed and empowered to be that, through our baptism. As Vatican II says:

“Through baptism the lay faithful are made one body with Christ and are established among the people of God. They are, in their own way, made sharers in the priestly, prophetic and kingly office of Christ. They carry out their own part in the mission of the whole Christian people with respect to the church and the world.”

(Lumen Gentium #31).

If we are to live our lives as real Christians, then we need to understand that we are to do as Jesus did:- reach out to the poor, the lonely, the impoverished. We need to know that the words of Luke 4:18 are addressed to us:

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; he has anointed me to tell the good news to the poor. He has sent me to announce release to the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to set oppressed people free,

Our ministries - the works of our hands - are the ways we commit to spreading the good news that the kingdom of God is among us and in us. That is evangelization.

The encyclical of Benedict XVI-Deus Caritas Est has a great section on agape, the love we are called to express in our lives.  . It points us to the basis of all our ministry, according to our gifts and talents:
