opportune initiatives to encourage the centrality
of the Word of God and the Eucharist.

evangelization where they can, so as to
contribute through their experience and wisdom,
also as spiritual directors and confessors.
Guideline 5: Centrality of the proposal of Jesus
Christ.
Let each community:
• Pour into its pastoral and educative plan
programmes for proclamation, catechesis and
education to the faith which are appropriate for
those to whom they are addressed and their
contexts.
• Offer lay people in the pastoral and educative
community, who have made an option for
Christ, a formation which helps them to be
educators of the faith.
• Educate the young to personal prayer and
encourage a style of celebration which
communicates an authentic experience of joyful
and lively encounter with the Lord.

• Frequently offer the Sacrament of
Reconciliation as an essential step along the
road to conversion,a nd the Eucharist as the
source and summit of Christian life.
• Foster youth groups as a place where the young
can fell that they are active agents in their own
journey of faith and service to the brothers and
sisters.
Guideline 6: Evangelization and community.
Let each community:
• Examine its pastoral activity in order to check
that it is safeguarding both the proclamation in
its entirety and the gradual way in which it is
offered, following the logic of its contents and
processes.
• See to the renewal of catechesis and be open to
new forms of accompaniment of children, older
youth and adults in the process of Christian
Initiation.
• See to the formation of a moral conscience and
educate young people to social and political
involvement following the inspiration of the
social teaching of the Church.
• Encourage opportune reflection on the
relationship between culture, faith and religions
so that the Gospel may resonate as part of the
great questions which impinge all areas of
human awareness today.
