In our life there are some opportunities and some very favorable when the Lord intends to take with us on a journey of faith in the company of our children. The stages of Christian life of the offspring (Communion and Confirmation) may be the element to be exploited to start a real and effective agreement between the parishes and families.
primary task which is called the Church - (and consecrated lay workers) - is welcome, but in these few crucial moments.
very delicate and important thing is to make it clear to parents that a request of the sacraments for their children, made up of one tradition is better motivated by an application of faith.
Always with great delicacy must also explain that the mere good example is no longer enough for a healthy Christian growth of children and that when used as the only method in most cases is doomed to fail: either because it assumes that the couple will be faith, and because such intentions requires a unity of life, supported by strong Christian motivations.
We therefore believe that it is necessary to switch from a Christian initiation of children, accompanied by the attempt to involve parents, evangelization same pair of father / mother, as well as their active participation in all 'Christian education of children.
What we need to prevent and combat, but that unfortunately is often the case: that the most frequently catechesis with parents is often reduced to catechesis with the mothers, we must therefore insist on the need to be able to include the couple as such, with participation also of his father, also to arouse interest in the parents the right to the catechesis of children should not speak of obligation, but show enough attention to the diversity of participants, especially concerning their attitude toward faith and their situation is certainly coniugale.La catechesis for parents and conscience to shepherd, but next the pastor, if possible, it would be appropriate for a couple prepared by the parish, the couple father / mother are first of all contagious in their faith, but also able to hear "from within" spouses and parents, their problems and their needs . As for the content of catechesis should not be limited to a surface coating of religious parents, but the goal is definitely to evangelizing activities play a cut, in a way that is interwoven with that of complete and figli.In the needs of family and personal situations of coppie.I parents, as such, should be encouraged to play their role towards their children through various forms of witness
with their way of life and conjugal fellowship time to enhance the expressions of faith, such as personal and family prayer, especially
consistency in faith by living according to the Gospel is the simplest choice of every day and those related to some special events of the same family;
to "forgive" each other, thus showing the confidence to those who need to get up and loyalty patient towards those who are poorer than love
of "knowing how to combine" the progressive discoveries of life in the world of things and events with the teaching of the Gospel, to that end will be important to transform moments "information" from that ' sternum and come within the family (TV, radio, music, books, internet etc..) in positive opportunities for dialogue and critical assessment;
education in the social sense, promoting the opening of hospitality, friendship and the availability to others;
to encourage children to discover their personal expectations and vocations, discovering and cultivating the art and pleasure, of "telling" and "tell" in the family, not only because it helps to practice the communication skills, but because they get used active listening.
In concluding this discussion, I feel duty-bound to point out however that the catechesis of the parents is never a private matter, it in fact even though they are in the privacy of home, still retains all its missionary nature which belongs to the church community.
If, on the one hand, therefore precedes, accompanies and enriches all other forms of catechesis on the other hand, remains in close connection with all other services of evangelization, present and active in the church community.
E 'in the fact that the parish catechesis interacts with the sacramental and liturgical celebrations, essential food which is not limited only to the great moments of human existence, but drop by drop to the entire path of growth and holiness in Christ , from whom we come, we live for him and to him we are going.
