Archbishop's message on the Day of Christian Teaching with catechists and teachers of Religion at the start of a new catechetical year

  • Nhar l-Erbgħa 28 ta’ Settembru 2016, l-Arċisqof Charles J. Scicluna għamel Diskors f’Jum it-Tagħlim Nisrani mal-katekisti u l-għalliema tar-Reliġjon li se jibdew sena kateketika ġdida. Il-laqgħa saret fis-Santwarju Ħniena Divina, in-Naxxar.    L-Arċisqof semma’ diversi punti importanti dwar il-viżjoni ta’ kif katekist għandu jgħallem u jaġixxi matul il-formazzjoni tat-tfal li qed jgħallem. Fosthom, il-katekist għandu:   
    • Jattira lit-tfal b’dak li jattirahom
    • Jiffoka l-katekeżi tiegħu fuq id-dover ċiviku
    • Iwassal katekeżi bħala esperjenza ta’ fejqan
    • Iwassal lit-tfal bl-imħabba, il-ħniena ta’ Alla
    • Jirrakkonta b’ħeġġa stejjer ta’ qaddisin martri żgħażagħ
    • Ikun konxju mid-dgħufija tiegħu, tal-Knisja u tat-tfal li jgħallem
    • Jgħin lit-tfal jiżviluppaw intelliġenza li turi kompassjoni lejn ħaddieħor
    • Ma jiġġudikax is-sitwazzjoni tal-familji tat-tfal, imma minflok ipoġġi l-imħabba
