Catechesis in the mission of evangelization 1

Integrating Perspective: To be open to encountering Christ, the way to an integral humanization for people and the world.

     

PRIMARY PROCLAMATION

The primary proclamation of the Gospel opens us to the discovery of God and salvation that he offers us through Christ.

CHRISTIAN INITIATION

Christian initiation is a process of basic training, a primary education of a life in communion with Christ.

PASTORAL ACTIVITY

Pastoral activity consists in nourishing and deepening the faith, hope, and charity of disciples who already follow Christ.

     

Integrating principle:

To propose Jesus Christ who reveals the Father and is the path to humanization.

Integrating principle:

To welcome the gift of the trinitarian life as the foundation and source of humanization through Jesus Christ.

Integrating principle:

To deepen this new life through participation in ecclesial communion and the Gospel mission.

     

Activities:

  • Participation in efforts to humanize the world
  • Inter-religious dialogue
  • Witnessing of a new life through Christ
  • Primary proclamation and call to conversion

Activities:

  • Discovery of the Word of God
  • Profession of faith and celebration of the sacraments of initiation
  • First instruction about a disciple’s life in the world and in the Church

Activities:

  • Searching for meaning in the light of God’s Word
  • Liturgy
  • Participation in community and fraternal life
  • Training for mission and commitment
     

Catechesis of awakening to the faith:

Accompaniment in the first or second discovery of the relevance of the Gospel.

Catechesis of initiation:

Accompaniment in welcoming the Word of God, listening to the Holy Spirit and a first training for the life of a Christian.

Continuing Catechesis:

Support for the processes of maturation in the faith.

     

The three essential moments of evangelization:
the primary proclamation, Christian initiation and pastoral activity are intertwined. Each has specific requirements and approaches concerning the training for a Christian life, particularly in its catechetical dimension.
