Reason should be bound with faith, the moral order, or divine law. Reason alone is prone to error. Faith and reason belong together.
Catechesis
Eternal life
Man is created in the image and likeness of God and called to share eternal life with God.
Sacred Scripture
One common kind of catechesis is focused on breaking open Sacred Scripture. We all need the Word of God, so the importance of that kind of catechesis cannot be overstated.
Christian name
The act of naming is to be taken seriously. The man-given, Christian name reminds us that we have God-given names.
Raising kids
My wife and I are committed to raising kids in the Catholic faith. The commitment is renewed daily in the ordinary life of our family.
God at work
Grace is “God at work in you.” It is the life of each person in the Trinity, given to a human.
Creation story
Parents should recognize the catechizing power of the creation story. Christian communities discover their identity by sharing the stories that we read in the Scriptures.
Evangelization
Catechesis is incomprehensible without evangelization. Evangelization is incomprehensible without catechesis.
