Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of age. - Matthew 28:19-20
We can only move forward if we turn our gaze together in Christ – Pope Benedict XVI, Homily given at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York, with Clergy and Men and Women in Consecrate Life, April 19, 2008
The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, 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. – Pope John Paul II Catechesi Tradendae #5
