ECHO
A Monthly Resource for Teaching the Faith 12.21
"I wish to sow courage, hope, and enthusiasm abundantly in the hearts of all those many diverse people who are in charge of religious instruction and training for life in keeping with the Gospel.” – Apostolic Exhortation Catechesi Tradendae: On Catechesis in Our Time, October 16, 1979, #62
St. John Paul II is the speaker of this month's quote. It does take courage to be a Catechist. Good for you, for having the courage to step forth and share our faith. While it may not always be easy, the role of the Catechist is incredibly rewarding. Echo is here to help give you hope and to sow that enthusiasm within you to joyfully share the message of the Gospel! May you find great blessings in your work and have a peace-filled Advent season!
