The article describes the spirituality of lay people of the third millennium. It involves the participation of Christians in the triple dignity and mission of Christ. New trends in the 21st century spirituality have been briefly discussed. They have been inspired by the Second Vatican Council. The broader context of the article was the universal call to holiness, which is a basis of Christian spirituality, and is the consequence of receiving baptism. As it is known, all people are called to holiness - not just consecrated persons but also lay people. One and only holiness is expressed in different ways in individuals who strive for perfect love in their chosen condition. The lay faithful pursue their vocation to holiness, living in the world, and give an example of the unity of life and of faith. The article deals with the spirituality of the third millennium: the cultural and social and spiritual-religious trends, the baptismal spirituality of the laity, and the universal vocation to holiness in response to the call of the Second Vatican Council to promote Christianity in the dignity and mission of Christ (priestly, prophetic and royal).

It is every Christian’s task to strengthen his/her relationship with God and other men, to obey the Gospel and to reconcile the teachings of the Church with the demands of the external world. These tasks require hard work, and they can be a mission in our daily social activities. This is the essence of the spiritual life of Christians living in the contemporary world. Human values and conscience are shaped by the family, and families that fully meet an individual’s demand for love and compassion saw the seeds of a civilization of love. Pope Francis calls for a global “ecological conversion” by acknowledging that ecological spirituality stems from our faith. The teachings of the Bible influence our thoughts, feelings and actions. Our efforts to protect the environment should be based on more than just formal doctrine. They require a certain degree of mysticism that motivates people to take individual action and participate in community work. “Ecological conversion” is the next step in our relationship with Christ that sheds a new light on the surrounding world.
