Christocentricity of Catechesis
It is the task of catechesis to show who JesusChrist is, his life and ministry, and to presentthe Christian faith as the following of hisperson [T]he mystery of Christ is notanother element alongside others, it is ratherthe center from which all other elements arestructured and illuminated (GDC, 41).
The definitive aim of catechesis is to putpeople not only in touch, but also incommunion and intimacy with JesusChrist (GDC, 80).

Christocentricity of Catechesis
Jesus Christ is at once the message, the
messenger, the purpose of the message, and
the consummation of the message (NDC, 1).
The object of catechesis is communion withJesus Christ. Catechesis leads people to
enter the mystery of Christ, to encounter him,
and to discover themselves and the meaning
of their lives in him (NDC, 19B).

Christocentricity of Catechesis
Every disciple of the Lord Jesus must be
women and men of prayer whose faith is alive
and vital, grounded in a deep commitment to
the person and message of Jesus
(OHWB,2).
