The Lord Jesus
invites men and women,
in a special way, to follow him, teacher of disciples.
This personal call of Jesus Christ
and its relationship to him are
the true moving forces of
catechetical activity. "From this
loving knowledge of Christ
springs the desire to proclaim
him, to 'evangelize,' and to lead
others to the 'Yes' of faith in
Jesus Christ". To feel called to
be a catechist and to receive this
mission from the Church
acquires different levels of
dedication in accordance with
the particular characteristics of
individuals.
