The Catechetical Review - Communicating Christ for a New Evangelization

Desde la cuna: Apoyando a la catequesis en el hogar

Authored by Marlon De La Torre in Issue #31.3 of The Sower
Marlon De La Torre da unos tips desde la Iglesia para los papás, para la catequesis en la familia. Responsabilidad doble ¿Alguna vez te has comprometido con el cuidado de algo de mucho valor solo para darte cuenta después que el cuidado necesario fuera mucho mayor de lo que te esperabas? Imagínate lo que pensó San Pedro cuando Jesús le pidió que echara sus redes en el mar, para que luego Jesús le diera una nueva responsabilidad – ser pescador de hombres (Lc 5, 1-11). Recibió una doble responsabilidad: cuidar la misión y el mensaje de Cristo, y cuidar el ‘pescado’ que atrapara. Cuando enseñamos, hacemos eco de las enseñanzas de Jesucristo. Como maestro en la Iglesia de Cristo, yo acepto transmitir solo lo que Cristo ha confiado a su Esposa, la Iglesia. Yo acepto ‘guardar el depósito’ que se me ha encomendado (1 Tm 6, 20). También acepto hacer eco de estas enseñanzas para que cada persona pueda oír el eco. Cada público que Cristo encontró recibió una instrucción personalizada. Fue el mismo mensaje – pero presentado para esta persona en particular. Contó la historia del amor de Dios para sus hijos. Es la misma historia, para cada persona única.

Attaching to Mary: The Gesture of Pilgrimage
By Brad Bursa
I come here often. Sometimes I come in gratitude. Other times I come here to beg. I come alone. I come with my wife and our kids. Growing up, it took thirty minutes to get here. Back country roads. Flat. Everything level and straight. Fields speckled with the occasional woods, a barn, a farmhouse. It was practically in my backyard. But then I... Read more

By Allison Fitzgerald
In many depictions of the annunciation, Mary is pictured as having been interrupted by the angel Gabriel in the midst of study. Whether she has a book open in her lap or tossed aside, a scroll in her hand or on a nearby stand, it is clear that, before this event, she was reading. Art historians have proposed interesting cultural interpretations of... Read more
