In this issue of The Record Magazine, we take a look at the meaning of Adult Faith, and how this is taking place across the Archdiocese of Perth.
The Church, says Saint (Pope) John Paul II, has always considered catechesis one of her primary tasks, for, before Christ ascended to His Father after His resurrection, He gave the apostles a final command – to make disciples of all nations and to teach them to observe all that He had commanded (Catechesi Tradendae).
In his book, Lessons for Living, John Paul II questions how can we profess faith in God’s Word, and then refuse to let it inspire and direct our thinking, our activity, our decisions, and our responsibilities toward one another? He goes on to say that faith is always demanding because faith leads us beyond ourselves. “Faith imparts a vision of life’s purpose and stimulates us to action.”
