Being a disciple is being sent on mission.

There is more than simply praying and receiving the sacraments. I've been reading Avery Cardinal Dulles' Models of the Church and I just finished the chapter called The Church as Herald. Catholics have it down understanding that the Church is the institute, the Body of Christ, the servant church, and the Sacramental life. However, I think--and so does Dulles--there's room for development when it comes to living out the Church as herald. The proclamation of the gospel--the Mission--at that moment when the Gospel is proclaimed and heard the Church exists.
