CATECHESIS AND ESCHATOLOGICAL HOPE

29 A person mature in the faith directs his thoughts and desires b the full consummation of the kingdom in eternal life.

Catechesis, therefore, performs the function of directing the hope of men in the first place b the future goods which are in the heavenly Jerusalem. Al the same time, lt calls men to be wiliing to cooperate in the undertakings of their neighbors and of the human race for the improvement of human society (cf. GS, 39, 40-43).
