The Spiritual Characteristics of a Catechist The spiritual life of a catechist should be characterized by:

• A love of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and of Christ’s Church, our Holy Father, and God’s holy people
• A coherence and authenticity of life that is characterized by their faithful practice of the faith in a spirit of faith, charity, hope, courage, and joy
• Personal prayer and dedication to the evangelizing mission of the Church
• A missionary zeal by which they are fully convinced of the truth of the Catholic faith and enthusiastically proclaim it.
• Active participation in their local parish community, especially by their attendance at Sunday Eucharist
• A devotion to Mary, the first disciple and the model of catechists, and to the Most Holy Eucharist, the source of nourishment for catechists
