Formation for discipleship, according to St. Pope John Paul II, is a “totally integrated formation” that encompasses all that we are as human beings (Christifideles Laici [CL], no. 60). Formation is the action of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives and our cooperation with it. It shapes who we are, what we do, and how we share our faith as Catholics.
Catechetical formation is “the totality of the Church’s efforts to make disciples” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no.4). Catechesis is a multi-dimensional process that involves six interrelated dimensions: knowledge of the faith, liturgical life, moral formation, prayer, belonging to community, missionary spirit. Initial and ongoing formation is necessary in every dimension. In fact, “when catechesis omits one of these elements, the Christian faith does not attain full development” (GDC, no.87).
Intentional disciples never graduate from Christian formation. In fact, St. Pope John Paul II states, “the more we are formed… the more we feel the need to pursue and deepen formation” (CL, 63). Ongoing attentiveness and cooperation with the Holy Spirit are essential components of the journey towards Christian maturity.
