THE CONTENT 0F CATECHESIS FORMS A CERTAIN ORGANIC AND LIVING BODY

39 The object of faith embraces a content which of its very nature is complex, namely, God in his own mystery and in his saving intervention in history. Ail these things are known through what God himself has revealed about himself and about his works. Christ has central importance both in the salvific intervention of God and in the manifestation of him 10 men. Catechesis, therefore, has as object God’s mystery and works, namely, the works that God has done, is doing, and will do for us men and for our salvation.

A catechesis that neglects this interrelation and harmony of its content can become entirely useless for achieving its proper end.
