The Baptized have become "living stones" to be "built into a spiritual house, to be a holy Priesthood." 73 By Baptism they Share in the Priesthood of Christ, in his prophetic and royal Mission. They are "a Chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that [they] may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called [them] out of darkness into his marvelous light." 74 Baptism gives a share in the common priesthood of all Believers.
