Catechesis to Know, Love, and Serve God

A video about the state of religious education and catechesis today.
The best way to help students know, love, and serve God is to teach them using the same process found in Lectio Divina.
Baltimore Catechism, 6:
Q. Why did God make you?
A. God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him for ever in heaven.
"The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love." (CCC, 25, Roman Catechism, Preface 10; cf. 1 Cor 13:8)

SHARE SHARE SHARE With everyone you know this is an extremely helpful video for some that are coming in to the Catholic Church. Maybe they’re returning or starting our CIA and they may want to start talking to their children differently at home. This is a great video thank you God bless you all.

Before I saw this video, I’d been wondering if the Baltimore Catechism answer (i.e. Why did God make us? To know Him, to love Him and serve Him in this world and share eternal happiness with Him in the next) could be seen as a sort of template for an order of action? Step one, we come to know Christ. “Who do YOU say I am?” Ways to come to know Him: Prayer/talking to Him (a lot) and also learning how to be still so we can listen, reading about Him, and adoration. What else? If/when we have an intimate knowledge of who He is (and what He has done for us) step two, love, will follow? Loving him and receiving His love in return will spill into serving. “Whatsoever you did to the least, you did for me”. Each step flows out of the one that preceded it? Perhaps it isn’t linear like that. Or, maybe it’s a constant looping or spiraling higher. I’m wondering if it helps to think about and be explicit in how we come to know Jesus more deeply. That seems so foundational to me. I’d like to hear others thoughts about this.

Thank you from Monterrey Nuevo León México. We try to do Lectio Divina in many of our lesson planes. I find it is completes many purposes in one as you point out.

If you want to teach anything ,teach them how to love themselves. All else spiritually will reveal itself. I Am that I AM

[@carama3590]

I agree. My opinion, and I feel like people have to be taught this, for they are not wired abundantly naturally like God wired us I feel like this is how I walk breathe see and think naturally, giving never taking naturally wholeheartedly loving God bless you.

God is in everyone. Pushing your perspective of god onto children sounds good. But it’s not your right to do so. Ego tells you to. Your good intentions tell you too. But you are passing along a small perspective of spirituality. Which alienates instead of bringing back to one. Ego 😆. It’s slick. Enjoy your creations and your free will.
