Paralelizm Liturgii i Katechezy
Paralelism of Liturgy and Catechesis

Summary/Abstract: The connection between liturgy and catechesis has been marked since the beginning of the existence and work of the Church. These two realities are connected with each other by their mutual participation in the work of evangelization. Analysis of the essence of catechesis and liturgy leads to discovering their similarity that is expressed in relating both of them to the Mystery of Christ and to Christian life. The bond of catechesis and liturgy can also be seen in their common aim, which is unification with Christ that results in existential change of the believer’s life. Catechesis and liturgy that have Mystery of Christ as their basis and lead to complete Christian life are parallel to each other. It is only in their mutual bond that evangelization can achieve its aim—faith that will define the whole of a man’s life. Despite the emphasized parallelism catechesis plays an ancillary role to liturgy, which is conditioned by the sacramental presence of Christ and His salutary work in it.
