Katecheza i liturgia

Abstract

Theological reflection tends to make anew the unity between the basic dimensions of Christian life, which in history have separated from one another. One notices a return to the tradition of ancient catechumenat as a model of any catechesis, indicating the fruitful synthesis between celebration, listening to the word of God, confession of faith, and Christian experience. Catechesis has ceased to be identified with the catechism, where one by questions and answers could learn also about the Liturgy. Catechesis has come back to the basic goal, i.e. teaching people how to interpret life in the light of the word of God and celebrate this life in faith, the life which God, following His plan, shapes in the human being. Thus the postulate to develop the forms of catechetic activities according to the pattern of the broadened method to revise life: to see, to evaluate, to act, and to celebrate.
