Catechesis: a Church’s Mission for the World
Brodeur, Raymond
Catechesis: a Church’s Mission for the World - 2012.
63
Jesus Christ founded his Church to go into the world to reveal His Father’s plan already at work. Over the centuries and the different socio-cultural contexts, this presence has continually to reinvent itself without losing sight of the fact that this is always the Father’s plan growing in the heart of the world with human beings. Methods of catechesis are constantly being transformed because of societal and cultural changes that require us to rethink how to proclaim the Gospel and how to live in the institution itself. In this regard, Marie of the Incarnation, an Ursuline nun who came to catechize in the New World in the seventeenth century, may be illuminating. Even today, «to rethink catechesis» implies that conversion remains necessary with regard to the life of faith and to certain intervention models that are inherited from particular cultures.
