INTRODUCTION Catechesis and Catechisms The catechism is a clear, concise exposition of the basic essentials of our Catholic Faith. By a living tradition, carried from centuries past to the present, the catechism is taught first to children by their parents within the heart of the family and later by teachers in schools. Since it is the deposit of the essentials of our Faith, the very bedrock of our principles and convictions, we continue to learn the catechism throughout our lives as sincere and maturing Catholics, who want to know and live what is required of us as children of God, heirs of heaven and followers of Jesus Christ. Learning the catechism - that is, learning the Faith in order to live it - is called catechesis. As such, catechesis is truly the effort of a lifetime, an effort that happily begins and is sustained with God's help, an effort that asks of us only the sincerity of our Faith and the courage of our cooperation. Catechesis for our time - as for all time - gives full and rightful place to God and man: to man's creation by God, man's sin and defiance of God; to God's plan of Redemption, its long and loving preparation and realization; to the Incarnation of the Son of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ, who is true God and true man; to the Blessed Virgin Mary, sinless, immaculate, chosen by God to be the Mother of Jesus, therefore the Mother of God, who was raised body and soul to heaven; to her role in our salvation as our Mother and Mediatrix; to the mystery of lawlessness in our lives and the power of God saving us from our human weakness and condition; to the need for penance and for struggle toward sanctity; to the supernatural aid of the Sacraments, which confer grace, God's own life in us; to the reality of the presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist; to our participation in the divine life of grace here and hereafter, in the resurrection of the dead and life everlasting, face to face with God. This - in full - is the deposit of the Faith. .......
