"The kerygma
is trinitarian. The fire of the Spirit
is given in the form of tongues and leads us to believe in Jesus Christ who, by
his death and resurrection, reveals and communicates to us God's infinite
mercy. On the lips of the catechist the
first proclamation must ring out over and over: "Jesus Christ loves you;
he gave his life to save you; and now he is living at your side every day to
enlighten, strengthen and free you.'
This first proclamation is called 'first' not because it exists at the
beginning and can then be forgotten or replaced by other more important
things. It is first in a qualitative
sense because it is the principal proclamation, the one which we must hear
again and again in different ways, the one which we must announce one way or
another throughout the process of catechesis, at every level and moment."
Pope Francis,
Evangelium Gaudii, 164.
