Parish community of communities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After the announcement of the \nKerygma, communities are born in the parish, brothers who live this \nChristian initiation. Progressively, among them begin to appear \nthe signs of faith, unity and love for the enemy. This moral miracle will call those \nwho are far away to encounter Jesus Christ. The Christian community \nwill bring the love of God to all men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You not only do the apostolate by being what you are, with an incitement to rediscover and recover the true, authentic and effective Christian values, \nthat otherwise could remain almost diluted in ordinary \n life. No! You put them in evidence, you make them emerge, and \n you give them a truly exemplary moral splendor because, well, with \nthis Christian spirit, you live this Neocatechumenal community …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much joy and how much hope you give us with \nyour presence and your activity! We know that in your \ncommunities you work together to understand and develop the riches \nof your Baptism and the consequences of your belonging to Christ …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living and promoting this awakening is what you call a form of “post-Baptism” that can renew in today’s Christian communities the effects of maturity and deepening that were happening in the early Church in the period of \npreparation for Baptism …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do it after: whether before or after, \nI would say,it is secondary. The fact is that you look at the authenticity, \n to the fullness, to the coherence, to the sincerity of the Christian life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Paul VI, May 8, 1974<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The praxis and norms of the Church have introduced \nthe sacred custom of conferring baptism to newborns, concentrating in the baptismal rite its preparation that, in the early days, when society was deeply pagan, preceded baptism, and it was called the catechumenate. But in \ntoday’s social environment, this method needs to be integrated with an \ninstruction, by an initiation to the Christian’s lifestyle, \nfollowing the baptism, that is, of a religious assistance, of a \npractical training to Christian fidelity, of an effective \ninsertion into the community of believers, which is the Church …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the rebirth of the name “catechumenate”, \nthat certainly does not want to invalidate or diminish the importance of \ncurrent baptismal teaching, but wants to apply it with a method \nof gradual and intensive evangelization, which reminds and renews in a way of the catechumenate of other times. Those who have been baptized need \nto understand, rethink, and appreciate, to support the priceless gift of \nthe sacrament they have received.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Paul VI, January 12, 1977<\/p>\n\n\n\n
