“In this shared religious experience
which we, as catechists,
are called to live with the children,
there is only one true Teacher,
who is Christ himself.
Although we have the important task of
carefully preparing the environment,
presenting the Christian Proclamation,
and guiding the children in
their use of the environment,
our most important task is that of patiently observing the children
and learning to listen to them and with them.
Both our own joy to be living a religious experience with children,
as well as our effectiveness as catechists,
rests in our desire and commitment
to listen to God with the child.”
