Catequizando

Catechesis is the oral repetition of teaching sentence by sentence, this was the way of teaching practiced by the apostles and the church at the beginning. At that time there was no Bible and notebook. The disciples kept the words of Jesus and the apostles in the mind through repetition. It was a way to teach a simple and powerful, we need rescue today.

The text of Acts 18.24-25 speaks of Apollo. He says he was eloquent and powerful man in the scriptures and that he was catechized in the way of the Lord. What is someone catechized? Someone catechized is not someone who simply knows teaching. It's someone who often repeated teaching, knows of memory and is able to teach it.

There is a power and effective catechesis. We can not find something as boring and repetitive. Intellectuals do not like repetition. They are always in search of news and distractions. But our aim is not to distract us and not only know the teachings, but being indoctrinated in all the way of the Lord. For this need to practice catechesis.
