Memories of a catechist

few years ago, in times of Adoration in the Blessed night near Retreat, held long conversations with a friend, Carlos.

In the place had a booth where you could talk lazy days before or after their shift of Worship.

There, one night Carlos told me in front of the Temple someone stopped to ask you something. Carlos replied to your question and then said:

- Sir, would accompany me to enter the Temple?
- Me? No. Long ago did not go into a church.
- is to enter just me.

After a short conversation in which Charles insisted that he just wanted to come inside, the rate agreed.

Having finished his story, Carlos tried to change the subject.

- wait a sec. What happened? "I asked.
- nothing, "said Carlos, once we were inside he said," Thank you "and left.
- Y. .. Did not you wait outside?
- No.
- Y. .. "You would not know how long he stayed inside?
- No.
- I do not understand. What is the point? "I insisted disoriented.
- The point is that I did what I had to do, otherwise God does.

What? Catechesis pure! There

clearly saw the first defect that can drop a catechist: Do what belongs and get to do what is God's work.

God says through the mouth of Isaiah:

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" (55.8)

It is not about the exercise here of human prudence, but prudence plays a role. It is the presence of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, at least four intellectuals, Wisdom, Understanding, Understanding and Council.

And really, what Carlos did not know if it was, humanly speaking, wise or unwise. For example, who could estimate Cross as a prudent means to cause the total redemption of man?

I do not know if Carlos was the exercise of prudence, but the gifts ... if they were. There

decided I wanted to be like Carlos.

still want to be like him.
