COMMUNICATING FAITH THROUGH CATECHESIS
Summary
Whereas each generation certainly needs an education in faith, the present moment in history is particular in this respect, since the education in question must be in a way provided anew. When faith is communicated as an experience, it grows rapidly and systematically. Thus, it is essential that education in faith should stress the dimension of experience conceived of as continuous existential involvement, as the acceptance of truth by an entire person, and as volitional adherence to values one has recognized as a result of the intimacy with God in Christ. Therefore, while passing on truths of faith, catechists needs to consider all human factors, as well as the process of growth and maturation of faith, in order to combine the experience of human life with the salvific message.
