CHAPTER TWO I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY SON OF GOD

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

426
“At the heart of catechesis we find, in essence, a Person, the Person of
Jesus of Nazareth, the only Son from the Father. . .who suffered and died for
us and who now, after rising, is living with us forever.”¹³ To
catechize is “to reveal in the Person of Christ the whole of God’s eternal
design reaching fulfilment in that Person. It is to seek to understand the
meaning of Christ’s actions and words and of the signs worked by
him.”¹⁴ Catechesis aims at putting “people . . . in communion
. . . with Jesus Christ: only he can lead us to the love of the Father in the
Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity.”¹⁵
