# An Evangelizing Catechesis

#### The Word of Life curriculum responds to the 2020 *Directory for Catechesis* and its call to help Christians “give a complete meaning to their existence, educating them in a mentality of faith in keeping with the Gospel” *(Directory*, no. 77).

#### Responding to the needs of contemporary culture and modern man requires an “evangelizing catechesis.” This catechesis centers on an initial proclamation of the gospel message.

#### What makes Word of Life unique and impactful is its approach to the “formation of a Christian mentality” (*Directory*, no. 71) and how it creates “a coherent doctrinal vision that can be used as a reference in life” (*Directory*, no. 80).
