Proces inicjacji chrześcijańskiej dziecka w rodzinie

Abstract

This article deals with the problem of Christian initiation of children in their families. Firstly it shows the meaning of the word “initiation” and the connection between a religious initiation and a family’s catechumenate. Then the article describes the process of the initiation of a child in a family – an introduction into: a recognition of God, prayer, liturgy of the Church and sacraments. A family is the first and fundamental environment of Christian initiation. In this particular community parents’ example and testimony of life are the most important. But the process of the initiation in a family needs continuation in other catechetical environments – especially in a parish.
