Also in the general audience on 13 November the Pope touched on the theme of evangelization as a task also for the lay faithful and spouses in particular. Among other things, he stated: “You lay people are responsible, through your Baptism, for carrying forward the faith.

It was the commitment of many families, of these spouses, of these Christian communities, of lay faithful who offered the "humus" to the growth of faith (...) Let us ask the Father, who has chosen to make the spouses his "true living “sculpture” - I believe the new spouses are here. There are? Are there any there? Here they are! Listen to your vocation: you must be the true living sculpture - to pour out his Spirit on all Christian couples so that, following the example of Aquila and Priscilla, they know how to open the doors of their hearts to Christ and their brothers and transform their houses in house churches. Beautiful word: a house is a domestic church, where we can experience communion and offer the cult of a life lived with faith, hope and charity".
