Adult Catechesis part of the pastoral

Abstract

Audience plays an important role in the activation of adults in the Church's pastoral activity. Adult Catechesis is "inscribed" in the general program of renewal of the Church, and has initiated new forms of church relations with the world. It has a dimension of evangelization and the Community, as it is associated with the lives and experiences of communities of believers. For specific forms of adult catechesis to be considered under the pastoral -catechetical prepared by the ecclesial community catechesis, Christian initiation are or adult catechumenate. Such catechesis is to retain traditional forms of living the liturgical year of the Community (missions, retreats, homilies, sermons, Sunday and holidays) and relate to significant events in his personal life and family (receiving the sacraments, religious education of children, illness, death). Pastoral program should also take into account the existential catechesis - a liturgical, which helps the faithful to discover the meaning of life and the implementation ofthe vocation to holiness in the community of God's people. The pastoral program should also present indications of catechesis socio - political, which will support the faithful in the Christian interpretation of the socio - political and motivate their faith for creative engagement in this field (cf 176)
