Office of Catechesis

"At the heart of catechesis we find, in essence, a Person, the Person of Jesus of Nazareth, 'the only Son from the Father...full of grace and truth,' who suffered and died for us and who now, after rising, is living with us forever. It is Jesus who is 'the way, and the truth, and the life,' and Christian living consists in following Christ, the sequela Christi."
- Pope St. John Paul II, Catechesi Tradendae (Apostolic Exhortation on Catechesis in Our Time), no. 5
