9 Being a catechist is not a title, it is an attitude Vocation is to be a catechist So keep this in mind: I didn t say to do the work of catechists, but to be catechists, because this is something that embraces our whole life. It means leading people to encounter Christ by our words and our lives, by giving witness.
10 Abide in Jesus Christ Imitate Jesus movement of love Go with God to all the ends of the earth
11 My soul longs for you, God As a deer longs for flowing water.
12 Being close to Jesus The first thing for a disciple is to be with the Master, to listen to him and to learn from him. 12
13 Being close to Jesus The first thing for a disciple is to be with the Master, to listen to him and to learn from him. Do you let yourself be looked at by the Lord? 13
14
15 My soul longs for you, God As a deer longs for flowing water.
16 Dynamism of Love: Inward focus on Christ moves you outward to encounter others this is the job of the catechist: constantly to go forth to others out of love, to bear witness to Jesus and to talk about Jesus, to proclaim Jesus. 16
17 Dynamism of Love: Inward focus on Christ moves you outward to encounter others Is this what causes my heart to beat as a catechist, union with Christ and encounter with others? 17
18 My soul longs for you, God As a deer longs for flowing water.
19 God is not afraid! He isn t afraid. He is always bigger than our little way of seeing things! God is not afraid of the outskirts. If you go to the outskirts, you will find him there. 19
20 Faithful creativity without rigidity A Church, a catechist, with the courage to risk going out, and not a catechist who is studious, knows everything, but is always closed: such a person is not well. 20
21 Christ is there first But careful! Jesus does not say: Go off and do things on your own. No! Jesus says: Go, for I am with you! This is what is so beautiful for us; it is what guides us. If we go out to bring his Gospel with love, he walks with us, he goes ahead of us, he gets there first. 21
22 Christ is there first Where are the outskirts your life? Who are the people whose life or choices or beliefs are outside of what accepted by you or the local community? 22
23 Abide in Jesus Christ Imitate Jesus movement of love Go with God to all the ends of the earth
24 Dear catechists, I have made my three points. Always start anew from Christ! I thank you for everything that you do, but above all, because you are part of the Church, the pilgrim People of God, and you accompany God s People on that pilgrimage. Let us remain with Christ abiding in Christ and let us always try to be one with him. Let us follow him, let us imitate him in his movement of love, in his going forth to meet humanity. Let us go forth and open doors. Let us have the audacity to mark out new paths for proclaiming the Gospel. 24

28 Being a disciple means being constantly ready to bring the love of Jesus to others, and this can happen unexpectedly and in any place: on the street, in a city square, during work, on a journey. Pope Francis Evangelii Gaudium, no

32 The Church is bound as a mother to give to these children of hers an education by which their whole life can be imbued with the spirit of Christ and at the same time do all she can to promote for all peoples the complete perfection of the human person, the good of earthly society and the building of a world that is more human. Second Vatican Council, Declaration On Christian Education, Oct 1965
33 The catechesis of adults is the principal form of catechesis, because it is addressed to persons who have the greatest responsibilities and the capacity to live the Christian message in its fully developed form. On Catechesis In Our Time, no. 43

35 is to help all participants and their families develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and to live out their Catholic faith in ways that draw others to Christ and the Church. We seek to carry out this mission through catechesis, sacramental preparation, liturgy, and service. from the Diocese of Honolulu Sample Parish Catechetical Handbook for Families

37 Creation has its own goodness and proper perfection, but it did not spring forth complete from the hands of the Creator. The universe was created in a state of journeying (in statu viae) toward an ultimate perfection yet to be attained, to which God has destined it. We call divine providence the dispositions by which God guides his creation toward this perfection. Catechism of the Catholic Church, no
38 The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch, but also in communion and intimacy, with Jesus Christ. On Catechesis in Our Time, no. 5 38
