La pedagogía de Dios, 1a Parte

En el núcleo mismo del documento más reciente sobre la catequesis de la Iglesia Universal, el Directorio General para la catequesis (DGC), publicado en 1997, está el concepto de ‘la pedagogía de Dios’. ¿Qué significa esta frase, y porqué tiene tanta importancia?[i]

Veremos que da la clave para comprender la naturaleza y el carácter específicos de la catequesis de acuerdo a lamente y al corazón de la Iglesia, y especialmente para conectar el contenido de lo que se enseña al cómo se enseña, y para unir el trabajo del catequista a la obra de la Santísima Trinidad en la catequesis. La ‘pedagogía de Dios’ no es tanto una teoría de la educación o siquiera un conjunto de principios para guiarnos. Más bien, esta sección central del Directorio nos recuerda enfocar la acción y la obra de Dios quien es el Pedagogo, formando y transformando a quienes enseñamos, atrayéndolos hacia Sí por medio de une especie única de disciplina educativa.

Este artículo expone la enseñanza del DGC (137-147) sobre esta área para resaltar los rasgos principales de la pedagogía de Dios.

Dios es el Pedagogo, y catequizamos atentos a sus designios.

Editor's Reflections— The Eucharistic Congress and the Missionary Year

Catholics in the United States have a long history of hosting both national and international Eucharistic congresses. The first of these was in Washington, DC, in 1895, and the last was in Philadelphia in 1976. If your ancestors were Catholic and lived in North America, they may have participated in one of these congresses—in St. Louis (1901), or New York... Read more

All over the world the similarities are astounding—animal sacrifices, burnt offerings, gifts of grain, the joy of ecstatic praise. It points to a universal sense within man that not only recognizes that there is a God but also knows that man is called to... Read more

Ask, Seek, Knock: The Pitfalls and Potential of Catholic Door-to-Door Evangelization
