The Catechetical Review - Communicating Christ for a New Evangelization

Cómo utilizar el YOUCAT

Authored by Bob Rice in Issue #32.3 of The Sower
En el 2003, tuve el privilegio de asistir a una conferencia del Cardenal Schönborn, Arzobispo de Viena, quien tuvo un papel importante en la redacción y la edición del Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica. Lo recuerdo comentando que los que habían participado en la creación del CEC se sorprendieron por lo bien que se vendía, especialmente entre los fieles laicos católicos, ya que su redacción se destinaba principalmente a los obispos, los sacerdotes y los catequistas que trabajan con ellos. En mis tiempos de encargado de grupos juveniles, trabajé incansablemente para poner el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica en las manos de todos los jóvenes que yo pudiera. Lo convertí en un regalo de Confirmación, un regalo de graduación, o lo regalaba durante los retiros. No pretendía que un joven lo leyera del principio al fin, pero por lo menos que tuviera algo donde encontrar las respuestas acerca de su fe, especialmente, cuando se iban de casa a la Universidad. Si estuviera hoy en la pastoral juvenil, yo le daría a cada joven su ejemplar del YOUCAT en lugar del CEC.

OCIA & Adult Faith Formation — Adult Evangelization and Catechesis: Today’s Great Need
By Dr. James Pauley
Back in 1989, when I first began working as a parish catechetical leader, I remember becoming alert to a pattern that unfolded regularly in our church parking lot. Two nights a week, our empty parking lot would become quite busy for two short periods of time. A line of cars would begin to form at 6:45 p.m. that would slowly inch along as parents... Read more
Penance as Devotion
By Jeremy Duo
“Dad, why does God like it when I suffer? I don’t like it.” This was the question that my five-year-old, Anastasia, posed during a recent dinner at home. As the liturgical seasons ebb and flow and certain penitential days make their appearance (not to mention the year-round meatless Fridays), my wife and I frequently encourage our three little...
