This is a Job for Catechists!

April 11th, 2007 by Joe

In recent comments, Pope Benedict XVI urged all Catholics to accept the call to search for Christ and witness and spread the good news of his Resurrection to the world with zeal. 

This sounds like a job for catechists! 

Of course all Catholics are called to do this, but as catechists, we are at the forefront of this effort.  The Pope explained that, “we are called to be witnesses to the death and resurrection of Christ. We cannot keep the great news to ourselves, we must spread it to the entire world.” 

I think that is why we are catechists in the first place…we can’t keep it to ourselves! 

The Pope stressed that the mission of the disciples then and now “is to bear witness to the death and Resurrection of their master and of their new life.” 

May God give us the grace to do this!
