Historia i pamięć w biblijno-liturgicznym przekazie katechetycznym w koncepcji Sofii Cavalletti

Abstract

The main topic raised in this article is Sofia Cavalletti’s idea of religious education, which is closely related to historical message and educates to understanding what memory in liturgy really means. The aim of the article is to present briefly theoretical basis of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for second and third level of religious education (children 6–12 years old). This approach is based on the method of signs and it introduces children to the history and memory of the Chosen People. First, the author justifies the choice of the method of signs in context of the Judeo-Christian tradition and biblical-liturgical message. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in its theoretical and practical message allows to understand history as the past – memory, as well as the anticipation of the future – awaiting of the day of Parousia, which both happen „here and now”.
