Human formation of catechists

Abstract

Formation to catechetical service entails several important dimensions which in an evident way contribute to the fulfillment of substantial didactic and educational tasks.
Apart from intellectual, spirituals and pastoral formation, it is human formation which is also vital. It should be organized and carried out in such a way so that it would define the path leading to a mature personality that conditions proper interpersonal relations. This fact is strongly emphasized in relevant Church documents which indicate that human formation constitutes the basis for the multi-level catechetical formation. However, this human formation, so emphasized nowadays, is not simple. On the contrary: it requires the engagement from all sides as well as efforts that could always lead only to happiness, not to weariness.
