Posługa katechisty we wspólnocie parafialnej. Perspektywa liturgiczna
Araszczuk, Stanisław (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2024)
In his motu proprio Antiquum ministerium, published on 10 May 2021, Pope Francis instituted the ministry of catechist. The papal document states that the ministry of catechist can be carried out by both men and women. The task of catechists is to work together with priests. As part of their ministry, catechists can lead a community prayer, in particular the Sunday liturgy in the absence of a priest or deacon, minister to the sick, lead funeral rites, coordinate pastoral initiatives in the parish and help the poor. In the liturgical perspective, the ministry of catechist is related to various forms of preaching the Word of God. One of them is the “first preaching”: the kerygmatic or missionary preaching addressed mostly to the people who have not heard about the Good News of Jesus Christ or to the baptised who over time lost their bond with the Church. Catechists are also tasked with the mystagogic preaching, which prepares others for receiving sacraments, especially for Christian initiation. Finally, the tasks of catechists include the didascalic or catechetical preaching or the ongoing formation of those who have believed and want to grow in their faith.
