\nThere was a nun who led the group of catechists. Sometimes she taught, sometimes it was two nice ladies both named Alicia. I will always remember them. This nun laid the foundation of my Christian life, preparing me for my First Communion, in 1943-1944. <\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Please, do not tire of being catechists, it is not about giving catechumenal lessons, no. Serve. Put your finger in your pocket. Don't teach like that. Be catechists. Catechism cannot be like a school lesson; it must be a living experience of faith. <\/em><\/p>\n
